HPE, Aruba & Juniper IT Procurement for the National Science Foundation
Uniqcli is an authorized HPE, HPE Aruba Networking, and HPE Juniper Networking reseller supporting National Science Foundation (NSF) IT procurement. We help NSF program offices and IT teams source TAA-compliant compute, storage, and high-speed networking through proven federal contract vehicles. From NSF headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia to the research-computing facilities the agency funds nationwide, we deliver the right configurations on the right vehicle with deployment and lifecycle support.
Overview
The National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that advances science and engineering across the United States. Headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, NSF funds roughly a quarter of all federally supported basic research conducted at U.S. colleges and universities, spanning fields from astronomy, physics, and biology to computer science, geosciences, and the social sciences. Its grants, facilities, and programs underpin much of the nation's fundamental research enterprise.
Beyond its grant-making mission, NSF supports a substantial research-computing and cyberinfrastructure footprint. The agency funds national high-performance computing resources, advanced research networks, and large-scale data systems that move and analyze enormous scientific datasets. NSF's own enterprise environment at its Alexandria headquarters also relies on modern compute, storage, and secure networking to run merit review, grant administration, financial systems, and a large hybrid workforce.
This blend of enterprise IT and research-driven cyberinfrastructure makes procurement multifaceted. NSF buyers and contracting officers need TAA-compliant, federally compliant hardware sourced through approved vehicles, configured for both standard enterprise and demanding research workloads, and backed by responsive support. Uniqcli helps NSF teams navigate that path with HPE, Aruba, and Juniper solutions matched to headquarters operations and the research-computing facilities the agency funds.
IT & infrastructure priorities
Research Computing & AI Infrastructure
NSF-funded science increasingly depends on HPC and AI. We help source accelerator-ready servers and cluster infrastructure for modeling, simulation, data analysis, and machine learning across research environments.
Data Center Modernization
Enterprise and research data centers need refreshed compute, storage, and networking. We support consolidation, virtualization, and energy-efficient infrastructure refresh aligned to federal modernization goals.
High-Speed & Resilient Networking
Moving large scientific datasets and supporting a hybrid workforce demands high-throughput, reliable networks. We deliver switching, routing, and wireless built for research data movement and campus connectivity.
Storage, Archive & Data Protection
Research instruments and grant operations generate significant data. We help source scalable primary storage, archival tiers, and backup and disaster-recovery infrastructure for long-term data integrity.
Zero Trust & Secure Networking
NSF operations and sensitive research data require modern security. We support Zero Trust networking, identity-aware access, and supply-chain-verified hardware aligned to federal security mandates.

Frequently asked
Which contract vehicles can the National Science Foundation use to buy HPE and Aruba?
Today Uniqcli sells to federal and SLED buyers via Government Purchase Card (GPC) direct, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP, FAR Part 13), FAR-based purchase orders and RFQs, and GSA eBuy, with WAWF/PIEE registration for DoD invoicing and acceptance. Our GSA MAS application is in progress. Every configuration is TAA-compliant with the documentation your contracting office needs.
Is the hardware TAA-compliant?
Yes. We source TAA-compliant, supply-chain-verified HPE ProLiant, Alletra, Aruba, and Juniper products appropriate for federal acquisition requirements, with documentation to support compliance reviews.
Can you support research computing and AI requirements?
Yes. We configure accelerator-ready HPE ProLiant and Apollo/Cray-class compute, scalable storage, and high-speed interconnect for simulation, data analysis, and AI workloads common across NSF-funded research.
What are typical lead times?
Lead times depend on configuration, quantity, and current manufacturer availability. We provide current ship estimates with every quote and can advise on in-stock and expedited options to meet fiscal and project deadlines.
