TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for New York

OGS negotiates and administers roughly 1,500 centralized contracts covering commodities, services, and technology, with an IT contracting model built around Lots for hardware, software, cloud solutions, and implementation services — an Authorized User can procure within a single Lot or compete across Lots through a streamlined Request for Quotations rather than a full solicitation. Authorized Users span state agencies and authorities, local governments, school districts, and the State University of New York, which means a SUNY campus network refresh and a county government switch upgrade can both route through the same OGS technology contracts.

Fort Drum in the North Country hosts the 10th Mountain Division and roughly 15,000 active-duty soldiers and dependents, while West Point's Keller Army Community Hospital and Watervliet Arsenal near Albany round out the state's active-duty presence — each requiring contractors and integrators to meet federal procurement standards including TAA compliance on networking hardware. New York's healthcare and education footprint is equally large: SUNY's 64 campuses and the state's major academic hospital systems run network infrastructure at a scale where Cisco ISE-based segmentation and Catalyst wireless density matter as much as up-front hardware pricing.
