TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Missouri

The Division of Purchasing, under the Office of Administration, competitively bids and awards contracts for Missouri state agencies under Chapter 34, RSMo, using the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system for solicitations, vendor registration, and order management. Missouri has executed a NASPO ValuePoint participating addendum for data communications products and services (Contract #MNNVP-23025), and Cisco maintains a Missouri-specific page under that master agreement, giving political subdivisions — cities, counties, K-12 districts, and higher-ed institutions — a pre-competed path to Catalyst and Secure Firewall purchases, separate from the state's own Chapter 34 contracts.

Fort Leonard Wood in the south-central Ozarks trains more than 82,000 soldiers and civilians a year across the Army's Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear School, Engineer School, and Military Police School — a training volume that demands resilient, high-density campus networking. Whiteman Air Force Base, the only operational base for the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, anchors the 509th Bomb Wing under Air Force Global Strike Command. On the civilian side, BJC HealthCare (with Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's Hospital) and University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia are large enough academic health systems that their network infrastructure decisions echo state and federal procurement standards.
