TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Utah
Utah centralizes IT purchasing under the Division of Purchasing and the Department of Technology Services, which must approve most executive-branch technology buys and route them through active NASPO ValuePoint contracts. Hill Air Force Base, the state's largest single-site employer, sits alongside the University of Utah and Intermountain Health, giving a Cisco buyer here both a federal logistics anchor and a major academic health network.

Cisco for Utah government, education & enterprise
Uniqcli sources and delivers Cisco networking, security, and data center — TAA-compliant options, DoDIN APL platforms — for Utah agencies, campuses, and enterprises — with the right contract vehicle and the compliance documentation done up front.
The Utah buyer's landscape
Utah participates in NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing alongside the Minnesota Multi-State Cooperative for Pharmacy, and most executive-branch agencies outside a short statutory exemption list must route technology purchases through DTS approval before ordering. That structure gives a Cisco buyer a predictable path: Catalyst switching and access points, Secure Firewall, and ISE can be procured under an existing NASPO ValuePoint data communications contract rather than a one-off solicitation, with DTS providing the technical sign-off state agencies already expect.
Hill Air Force Base, home to the Ogden Air Logistics Complex and the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings, is the largest single-site employer in Utah and carries an outsized network footprint for logistics, maintenance, and mission systems. Layer in the University of Utah's academic medical center and Intermountain Health's multi-hospital system, the state's two largest healthcare networks, and the demand runs from campus wireless refreshes to segmented clinical networks needing ISE-driven access control and Nexus-based data center switching for research and imaging workloads.

Buying Cisco in Utah — FAQ
Q1Does a Utah state agency need DTS approval before buying Cisco gear off a NASPO contract?
Most executive-branch agencies under DTS jurisdiction must obtain DTS approval before ordering, even when using an established NASPO ValuePoint data communications contract, unless the specific purchase falls under a statutory exemption. Higher-education institutions and political subdivisions generally set their own purchasing authority.
Q2Can Utah higher-education institutions and local governments use the same NASPO contracts as state agencies?
Yes. NASPO ValuePoint contracts with an executed Utah participating addendum are generally available to state agencies, public higher education, and political subdivisions statewide, though each entity type manages its own ordering authority and approval process.
Q3Is there a Cisco-specific cooperative contract Utah buyers can reference?
Utah has an active NASPO ValuePoint data communications participating addendum that covers Cisco networking equipment, giving eligible Utah entities a contract number to cite for switching, wireless, and security purchases without running a separate competitive solicitation.
