Overview

Coast Guard Base Portsmouth is one of the U.S. Coast Guard's largest and most important shore commands, located on the Elizabeth River in Portsmouth, Virginia, in the heart of the Hampton Roads region. The base serves as headquarters for the Coast Guard Atlantic Area (LANTAREA) and the Fifth Coast Guard District, overseeing operations spanning much of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard, the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. It is a major hub for command and control, mission support, logistics, engineering and personnel services for cutters, aviation, and field units across the Eastern Seaboard.

As an operational headquarters and a large mission-support enclave, Base Portsmouth runs a demanding IT environment: enterprise networking for command staff and support directorates, secure connectivity for maritime operations and search-and-rescue coordination, waterfront and pier-side networking for cutter support, and resilient data center services that must stay available around the clock. The base also supports a broad mix of administrative, logistics, engineering and family-support functions that depend on dependable compute, modern switching and reliable wireless across offices, piers, warehouses and shared spaces.

Procurement teams supporting Coast Guard Base Portsmouth need a partner who understands federal acquisition, Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance, and the operational tempo of an Atlantic Area headquarters. Uniqcli pairs the full HPE, Aruba and Juniper portfolio with disciplined sourcing and white-glove logistics so Coast Guard IT teams can modernize on schedule and on contract.
