TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Tennessee
Tennessee pairs the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, its largest science and energy lab, with the 101st Airborne Division's home turf spanning the Tennessee-Kentucky line at Fort Campbell. The Central Procurement Office runs Tennessee's statewide contracts, including a dedicated Cisco NASPO ValuePoint agreement (state contract #69533), giving Uniqcli's TAA-compliant Catalyst, Secure Firewall, and SD-WAN gear a clear path to both research and defense buyers.

Cisco for Tennessee government, education & enterprise
Uniqcli sources and delivers Cisco networking, security, and data center — TAA-compliant options, DoDIN APL platforms — for Tennessee agencies, campuses, and enterprises — with the right contract vehicle and the compliance documentation done up front.
The Tennessee buyer's landscape
Tennessee's Central Procurement Office (CPO) manages statewide term contracts for use by all state agencies, with items also available to local governments and nonprofits under the same pricing. Tennessee has executed a NASPO ValuePoint participating addendum specifically for Cisco's Data Communications master agreement (NVP #AR3227), carried on the state's books as statewide contract #69533, covering networking, unified communications, wireless, security, and related value-added services on a discount-off-list-price structure.
The state's federal and research footprint runs deep: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, sponsored by the Department of Energy and operated by UT-Battelle, is DOE's largest science and energy lab and partners directly with Vanderbilt University Medical Center on AI and national-security research. Arnold Air Force Base in Tullahoma hosts the Arnold Engineering Development Complex, one of the country's most advanced flight test facilities, while Fort Campbell — home to the 101st Airborne Division, the 5th Special Forces Group, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment — sits mostly on the Tennessee side of the state line. Naval Support Activity Mid-South rounds out a footprint that spans defense, energy research, and academic medicine.

Buying Cisco in Tennessee — FAQ
Q1Does Tennessee have its own state contract number for Cisco networking equipment?
Yes. Tennessee's Central Procurement Office carries the NASPO ValuePoint Cisco Data Communications master agreement as statewide contract #69533, covering networking, wireless, unified communications, and security categories on a discount-off-list-price basis, available to state agencies and, for many items, local governments and nonprofits.
Q2Can contractors supporting Oak Ridge National Laboratory buy TAA-compliant Cisco gear through Uniqcli?
Yes. ORNL and its research partners require TAA-compliant hardware for federally sponsored work. Uniqcli supplies Catalyst switching, Secure Firewall appliances, and wireless gear that meets that requirement for lab and contractor network builds.
Q3Is Fort Campbell's network infrastructure procured through Tennessee or Kentucky contract vehicles?
Fort Campbell straddles the state line, and its garrison contracting typically uses federal acquisition channels rather than either state's cooperative contracts. Support contractors serving the base can still source TAA-compliant Cisco equipment through Uniqcli regardless of which state's tax and business registration applies to their contract.
