Overview

Barksdale Air Force Base spans more than 22,000 acres along the southern edge of Interstate 20 east of Bossier City and supports over 15,000 active-duty and Air Force Reserve Command personnel. As the home of Air Force Global Strike Command headquarters, the Eighth Air Force, and the 2nd Bomb Wing, Barksdale carries a strategic deterrence mission that depends on resilient, high-assurance network and data center infrastructure across both administrative and mission-support environments.

Uniqcli supports IT modernization at Barksdale with the full HPE portfolio: HPE Aruba Networking switching, wireless, and SD-WAN; HPE ProLiant and Alletra compute and storage for data center refresh; and HPE Juniper Networking routing and AI-driven operations. We help communications squadrons, civil engineering, and program offices specify configurations that align with DoD security baselines, including support for Zero Trust architecture, comply-to-connect, and CMMC-aligned supply chain requirements.

Because Barksdale buyers operate under tight timelines and appropriation cycles, Uniqcli focuses on speed and clarity. We provide firm, contract-ready quotes through GSA, SAP/FAR channels, and GPC direct, support micro-purchases on the Government Purchase Card, and coordinate delivery, asset tagging, and lifecycle planning so equipment arrives ready to install. Our team understands Air Force IT buying patterns and helps contracting officers document fair and reasonable pricing with minimal back-and-forth.
