TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Massachusetts
Massachusetts buyers use the Operational Services Division's ITC73 statewide contract for IT hardware — Cisco is a listed vendor — plus a companion ITS78 cybersecurity contract and NASPO ValuePoint cloud agreements. Hanscom Air Force Base's acquisition mission, Natick Soldier Systems Center's R&D labs, and the UMass / Mass General Brigham partnership anchor a Commonwealth where Uniqcli delivers TAA-compliant Cisco networking.

Cisco for Massachusetts government, education & enterprise
Uniqcli sources and delivers Cisco networking, security, and data center — TAA-compliant options, DoDIN APL platforms — for Massachusetts agencies, campuses, and enterprises — with the right contract vehicle and the compliance documentation done up front.
The Massachusetts buyer's landscape
The Operational Services Division (OSD) oversees more than 130 statewide contracts, and ITC73 — Information Technology Hardware and Services, successor to ITC47 — covers network equipment, firewalls, and related integration and maintenance services, with Cisco listed among ITC73 vendors. Purchases are made through COMMBUYS, the state's procurement system, and buyers reference the contract number directly to get contract pricing. NASPO ValuePoint agreements, including a Cloud Solutions contract, extend cooperative purchasing to public agencies statewide, and a newer ITS78 statewide contract adds dedicated data and cybersecurity tooling alongside ITC73's hardware scope.
Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, near Boston, runs Air Force acquisition and research programs rather than flight operations, making it a hub for program-office IT. Natick Soldier Systems Center spans 174 acres and serves as the Army's center for soldier-equipment R&D, hosting military and civilian tenants alike. Joint Base Cape Cod, a 22,000-acre installation, is shared by the Massachusetts Army and Air National Guard and Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod — a multi-tenant setting suited to segmented Catalyst switching. Mass General Brigham, the state's largest private employer, has built workforce ties with UMass, a healthcare network large enough to need SD-WAN and Secure Firewall across many campuses.

Buying Cisco in Massachusetts — FAQ
Q1Is Cisco available on Massachusetts' ITC73 statewide contract?
Yes. Cisco is listed among the vendors on ITC73, the Operational Services Division's IT Hardware and Services contract, which covers networking equipment including firewalls and two-factor authentication hardware. Buyers purchase through COMMBUYS and cite the ITC73 contract number to secure contract pricing.
Q2Does Hanscom Air Force Base buy networking gear through Massachusetts state contracts?
No. Hanscom is a federal Air Force installation focused on acquisition and research programs, and it procures IT infrastructure through federal contracting vehicles rather than OSD's ITC73 or NASPO ValuePoint agreements, even though it sits within Massachusetts and shares a labor market with Boston-area contractors.
Q3What network design suits a shared installation like Joint Base Cape Cod?
A 22,000-acre base shared by Army National Guard, Air National Guard, a Space Force unit, and Coast Guard aviation generally needs strict segmentation between commands, favoring Cisco ISE for policy-based access and Secure Firewall at each tenant's boundary — though the base's actual network architecture and procurement run through the host commands, not state contracts.
