TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Nevada

The State Purchasing Division, operating under NRS Chapter 333, handles service procurement and the purchasing, renting, or leasing of supplies and equipment for Nevada state agencies, publishing solicitations, contract awards, and blanket purchase orders through the NevadaEPro portal. Nevada is a NASPO ValuePoint participating state, and eligible users extend beyond executive agencies to institutions of higher education and political subdivisions authorized to use statewide contracts — a structure that lets University of Nevada, Las Vegas and University of Nevada, Reno source Catalyst switching or wireless upgrades through the same cooperative agreement as a state department.

Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas is the Air Force's hub for advanced combat training and the annual Red Flag exercise, hosting allied pilots alongside U.S. forces. Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs runs the 432nd Wing's MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-170 Sentinel remotely piloted aircraft operations for global intelligence and strike missions, and Naval Air Station Fallon hosts the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center and the TOPGUN program, training naval aviators on F/A-18 Hornets. Remote-operations and ISR-heavy missions at Creech in particular put a premium on low-latency, tightly segmented networking — territory where Cisco Secure Firewall and ISE-based access control are directly relevant.
