NASA Cisco BPA

The NASA Cisco Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a comprehensive contract vehicle designed to facilitate the procurement of Cisco networking hardware, software, maintenance, support, and associated services for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Established under General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule contracts, this master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract enables NASA to quickly acquire a wide range of Cisco networking and telecommunications technologies. The BPA supports NASA's complex information technology infrastructure needs by providing a streamlined mechanism for purchasing enterprise-grade networking equipment, collaboration tools, cybersecurity solutions, and related technical services through pre-negotiated pricing and terms.

The task orders under this BPA demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement across various Cisco product lines, with ceiling values typically ranging from $10,000 to over $7.8 million. The most frequent prime contractors are Thundercat Technology, LLC (a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business), Sterling Computers Corporation (a Woman-Owned Small Business), and FCN Inc. (also a Woman-Owned Small Business). Many task orders are set aside for small businesses, with a notable focus on service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small business categories. The most common product categories include Cisco Catalyst switches, Nexus switches, routing equipment, IP phones, collaboration tools like Webex, and SmartNet support contracts. Performance locations are primarily at various NASA facilities across the United States, including sites in California, Alabama, Virginia, Maryland, and Texas. The contract vehicle supports NASA's technology modernization and infrastructure enhancement efforts through flexible, pre-negotiated procurement mechanisms.
