Puget Systems Empowers Government and Education
We test hardware across a wide range of applications and have invested time in ensuring that we are positioned for easy access by government and educational institutions.
Our Customers Include
Many universities and government contractors trust Puget Systems when they need high-performance workstations for applications in design, engineering, scientific research, and artificial intelligence as well as mission-critical servers and storage systems. Our expert consultants work with end users to discuss performance needs, IT managers to plan out deployment requirements, and purchasers to discuss payment terms. We build relationships with our customers so that we better understand the pain points within their organization and can tailor our systems and services to match. View more of our customers here.
Simplified Sourcing
Puget Systems can work with your end users, IT staff, and purchasing team every step of the way to ensure that you get the right workstations.
Purchase Orders
We can accept POs for purchases above $5,000 from approved customers. The approval process is as painless as we can make it, and payment terms can be customized based on your organization’s needs and standards. Other payment methods are also available, of course. Please get in touch with us to apply for net terms and discuss any questions you have.
NDAA Compliance
Puget Systems is compliant with Section 889(a)(1)(B) of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. We do not sell video surveillance or telecomm equipment produced by Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hangzhou Hikvision, or Dahua – or their subsidiaries or affiliates. This means that we are a safe vendor for US government agencies dealing with sensitive data!
Purchasing Portals
Puget Systems is set up as a vendor on multiple purchasing portals used by government and educational institutions. We are listed on Payment Works, Transcepta, WAWF, and many other platforms! If your organization uses a portal we are not available on, let us know and we can get registered.
Supply Chain Consistency
Puget Systems has robust and redundant component sourcing. We have developed close relationships with manufacturers and distributors, building a strong supply chain that weathers industry shortages with minimal impact. Frequent forecasts to vendors help them reserve parts ahead of time, ensuring we have the components needed to fulfill your orders on time!
Education Discounts on GPUs
Discounts are available on select NVIDIA professional graphics cards (GPUs) for edu customers. To take advantage of these discounts, GPU manufacturers require us to collect some information – but the cost savings can be substantial. Please ask your consultant about which cards have discounts available and what is needed in order to get them!
IT Management Assistance
Prepare your network for new computers before they arrive! We record all MAC addresses on systems we build and provide that information online. As an add-on service, we can also capture Windows Autopilot hardware hashes and upload them to CSV files. This helps IT admins prepare networks and asset management systems for deployment of new PCs.
Cultivating Relationships
Beyond just building the right systems for your workflow and budget, we back our PCs with a pledge to support your organization in any way we can.
Honest Guidance
At Puget Systems, we are dedicated to building the right workstations for each of our customers’ workflows. That means we do a lot of testing and publish results publicly, and our consultants also spend time researching the needs of various software that we don’t test in-house. We then use that information to provide transparent recommendations – not influenced or limited by hardware manufacturers or software developers.
HPC Expert On Staff
Dr. Donald Kinghorn brings decades of experience in scientific computing to bear for our customers. His expertise with high-performance computing is invaluable, and our consultants can loop him in when questions come up on a wide range of topics like CPU thread scaling, memory bandwidth requirements, and multi-GPU utilization.
Multi-User Benefits
Grouping customers from the same organization together to share benefits. Once anyone at a given institution has purchased from us, subsequent orders are often much smoother. Even if you haven’t worked with us yet, it is very possible that someone else from another department there has. We can look that up and group you together to share net terms and other arrangements.
Lifetime US-Based Tech Support
All of our systems include complimentary, lifetime tech support provided in-house by our expert technicians. They operate out of the same facility where we build and test workstations, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with language barriers or working your way through escalation from low-level support to get the help you need. We also offer varying lengths of hardware warranties and optional on-site repair services.
Talk to an Expert
We specialize in building workstation PCs tailored for each of our customers. The best way we’ve found to accomplish that is to speak with you directly. There is no cost or obligation, and our no-pressure, non-commissioned consultants are experts at configuring a computer that will meet your specific needs. They are happy to discuss a quote you have already saved or guide you through each step of the process by asking a few questions about how you’ll be using your computer. There are several ways to start a conversation with us, so please pick what works best for you:
