Puget Systems Empowers Government and Education

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 may have.

NDAA Compliance

Puget Systems is compliant with Section 889(a)(1)(B) of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. That means we do not sell video surveillance or telecommunication equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company – or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. In turn, this means that we are a safe vendor for US government agencies dealing with sensitive data!

Education Discounts on GPUs

Discounts are available on select NVIDIA professional graphics cards (GPUs) for edu customers. In order to take advantage of these discounts, GPU manufacturers do require us to collect some basic information – but the cost savings can be substantial, and well worthwhile. Please ask your consultant for more info about which video cards have discounts available and what is needed in order to get them!

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.

IT Management Assistance

Prepare your network for new workstations before they arrive! We record MAC addresses for all network ports on systems we build and provide that information as part of our online documentation. As an optional service, we can also capture Windows Autopilot hardware hashes and upload them to CSV files. This information can help IT administrators prepare their networks and asset management systems for deployment of new PCs. We can also work with your IT department to resolve any concerns regarding the use of our custom workstations on your network.

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 resulting performance data publicly, and our consultants also spend time researching the needs of various software that we don’t test in-house.

We then use that combination of information to provide transparent recommendations – not influenced or limited by hardware manufacturers or software developers. This sets us apart from companies like HP (which does not offer AMD-based workstations), Boxx (which does not usually offer GeForce video cards), Dell, and Lenovo.

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.

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.

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.
