TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Oregon

Oregon's Department of Administrative Services manages the state's cooperative procurement framework, recognizing NASPO ValuePoint master agreements — including Cisco's Data Communications contract — through signed participating addenda, alongside more than 340 DAS Statewide Price Agreements covering IT hardware and services directly. Political subdivisions and school districts can piggyback on these agreements once DAS has executed the addendum, avoiding a separate competitive solicitation for routine Catalyst switch or wireless refreshes.

Oregon no longer hosts a large active-duty installation, but its public-sector footprint runs through Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center on the coast, the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility at Boardman, and a dense K-12 and higher-ed network: Link Oregon connects K-12 schools, ESDs, and research institutions across the state on a shared K-20 backbone. That combination of statewide term contracts, E-rate-funded school connectivity, and university networking (including Oregon State and the University of Oregon) means most Cisco purchases in the state are driven by education and Guard/Reserve facilities rather than a single large base contracting office.
