DoDIN-Approved Cisco Networking & Edge at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, FL
NAS Jacksonville hosts more than 100 tenant commands built around maritime patrol aviation, with Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Eleven as host wing and Fleet Readiness Center Southeast running depot-level overhaul on P-8 Poseidon and other airframes. That mix of flightline squadron operations and heavy industrial depot maintenance drives two distinct network profiles under one installation commander, each with its own buyers and refresh timelines.

Mission-ready Cisco for Naval Air Station Jacksonville
Delivering FIPS-compliant and TAA-approved Cisco edge networking to support continuous Afloat/Ashore operations for the U.S. Navy at Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Jacksonville — resilient, secure connectivity from the pier to the data center.
What buying Cisco at Naval Air Station Jacksonville looks like
Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Eleven oversees the P-8A patrol squadrons and their fleet replacement squadron, VP-30, which means ready-room and mission-planning networks need to move classified and unclassified data cleanly without crossing streams. Separately, Fleet Readiness Center Southeast's depot floor -- employing thousands doing phased maintenance on P-8, MH-60, and other platforms -- runs an industrial OT network for test equipment, work-order systems, and fiber-optic repair shops that has to stay isolated from admin IT. Cisco Catalyst switching with ISE-enforced segmentation is a practical way to keep those zones apart on a base this size.
Buyers across NAS Jacksonville's tenant commands split between GPC purchases for routine gear swaps and GSA Schedule or SEWP task orders for squadron ready-room refreshes or depot network expansions. Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast and Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville also sit on base, adding sustainment and logistics IT demand that typically follows the same TAA and STIG documentation expectations as the aviation commands.

Naval Air Station Jacksonville procurement FAQ
Q1How does networking for the FRCSE depot floor differ from squadron ready-room networking?
The depot floor runs industrial and test-equipment traffic tied to maintenance work orders and needs OT-grade segmentation, while ready-room and mission-planning spaces prioritize secure, low-latency access for aircrew systems. Both typically sit behind Cisco Secure Firewall with ISE policy zones so an OT-side outage or intrusion can't reach aviation admin networks.
Q2Who at NAS Jacksonville actually issues the RFQ for a network buy?
It depends on the tenant. Squadron and wing IT support usually routes through the host wing's supply department, while depot-level buys go through Fleet Readiness Center Southeast's own contracting shop. Either way, expect the buy to reference GSA Schedule or SEWP for anything beyond micro-purchase scope.
Q3Is TAA compliance different for a facility running depot maintenance versus a flightline command?
No -- TAA compliance attaches to the contract vehicle and the funding source, not the mission of the buyer. A FRCSE depot equipment buy and a VP-30 ready-room refresh both need the same TAA country-of-origin documentation whenever they're funded through GSA Schedule or SEWP task orders.
