TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Wyoming

Wyoming's Department of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) sets statewide IT strategy and infrastructure standards for executive-branch agencies, while the Wyoming Department of Administration and Information publishes All Agency Contracts that state entities, political subdivisions, and higher-education institutions can use to satisfy competitive-bid requirements without running a separate solicitation. Wyoming also participates in NASPO ValuePoint cooperative contracts, giving agencies, the University of Wyoming, community colleges, and local governments a pre-competed path to Cisco switching, wireless, and security hardware. For a buyer inside ETS or a county IT department, that means Catalyst access switches or an ISE-based network access policy can move through a cooperative vehicle rather than a from-scratch RFP.

The state's federal anchor is F.E. Warren Air Force Base outside Cheyenne, the oldest continuously active Air Force installation and home to the 90th Missile Wing and Twentieth Air Force, which commands the nation's Minuteman III ICBM force. That mission demands hardened, TAA-compliant network infrastructure for both the base and its supporting contractor community. Beyond Warren AFB, the University of Wyoming in Laramie is the state's only four-year public university and a major driver of campus Wi-Fi and data-center refresh cycles, while Wyoming's rural school districts lean on E-rate discounts to fund the Catalyst switching and access points that keep low-density, long-haul networks connected.
