Discounted Access to VMware and Palo Alto Networks Solutions
Discounts up to 20% off list price.
Through our association with The Quilt, the non-profit national coalition represented by 40+ of our country’s most advanced regional research and education networks, Link Oregon is able to share benefits with our members. Participants in The Quilt provide advanced network services and applications to over 250 universities and thousands of other educational institutions. Through an agreement with Carahsoft and vendors like VMware and Palo Alto Networks, The Quilt has successfully leveraged its collective buying power for discounts on various licenses and services by securing a convenience contract for its members and their communities.
Program Features:
- The Quilt contract is pre-negotiated, allowing customers the ability to purchase a variety of products quickly and easily as all procurement rules and requirements have been met and done for them.
- The Quilt contract has the best pricing structure for Education Customers outside of ELA’s, that require large upfront purchase commitments.
- The Quilt contract is a cooperative agreement and is therefore not protestable under the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) allowing institutions to avoid the costly and time consuming RFP process during procurement as it has already been completed by The Quilt.
- The ease of procurement is in addition to the value added by partnering with Carahsoft.
- No upfront purchasing commitment
