HPE, Aruba & Juniper IT Procurement for the Department of Health and Human Services

The Department of Health and Human Services is the principal federal agency charged with protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services. Headquartered at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building in Washington, DC, HHS operates through a portfolio of operating divisions and agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Indian Health Service (IHS), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Together these components run some of the largest and most sensitive data programs in the federal government.

The HHS IT mission spans a vast, distributed footprint: research computing and biomedical HPC at NIH, public-health surveillance and analytics at CDC, claims and beneficiary systems at CMS, and regulatory data at FDA. Modernization priorities consistently center on consolidating and refreshing data centers, strengthening cybersecurity under federal Zero Trust mandates, protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) consistent with HIPAA and FISMA, and supporting cloud-smart and hybrid architectures. The department also manages enterprise networking for headquarters and regional offices, plus connectivity for thousands of grantee, clinic and field locations.

For contracting officers and program managers, the challenge is sourcing reliable, TAA-compliant hardware on the right contract vehicle, with predictable lead times and lifecycle support. Uniqcli pairs HPE ProLiant and Alletra platforms, HPE Aruba Networking wired and wireless, and HPE Juniper Networking routing and switching with disciplined federal procurement, configuration and deployment services tailored to HHS environments.
