HPE, Aruba & Juniper IT Procurement for Coast Guard Base Alameda

Coast Guard Base Alameda, located on Coast Guard Island in the Oakland Estuary, is one of the largest shore support installations on the West Coast and the headquarters for Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area, who is also Commander of Defense Forces West. The Pacific Area command oversees maritime safety, security, and stewardship across a vast area of responsibility spanning tens of millions of square miles of ocean. The base also hosts tenant commands including Sector San Francisco, a Maritime Safety and Security Team, and the Pacific Regional Fisheries Training Center, and serves as homeport for several National Security Cutters.

A command and support hub of this scale runs on resilient, always-on IT. Search-and-rescue coordination, maritime domain awareness, command-and-control, and day-to-day shore operations depend on dependable data centers, secure networking across administrative and operational enclaves, and reliable wired and wireless connectivity that reaches piers, hangars, and waterfront facilities. As the Coast Guard modernizes its shore enterprise and aligns to DoD and DHS cybersecurity targets, installations like Base Alameda are prioritizing data center refresh, network segmentation, and Zero Trust architectures.

Procurement teams supporting Base Alameda need partners who understand both the technology and the rules: TAA and Buy American compliance, supply-chain provenance, and acquisition through approved federal vehicles such as SAP/FAR channels and GSA. Uniqcli bridges enterprise HPE, Aruba, and Juniper portfolios with the contracting mechanisms and lifecycle support that base IT, tenant units, and mission partners rely on.
