Welcome · First time here
Welcome to TAC-USA
You have found the Technology Assurance Cooperative — a member-owned home for the technology that keeps organizations running. This page is written for people who have never heard of us. Stay a few minutes. We will make the picture clear.
Tell us if this sounds familiar
Every day you are balancing people, projects, and expectations. There are decisions to make, systems to keep alive, classrooms or conference rooms to equip, software to renew, and vendors who each speak a slightly different language. The work has to happen somewhere — and it has to stay coherent.
Most organizations discover that spreading telecom and technology across a patchwork of distributors, browser tabs, emails, and one-off quotes does not hold together. You do not need more noise. You need one place you can trust for knowledge, technology, and talent.
Unfortunately, much of the industry still sells complexity. Catalogs are dense. Pricing is opaque. Advice is scarce. Tools that are hard to use do not get used.
We have lived in that world since 1983. We tried building our own platforms. We became partners with nearly everyone who matters in this space. Over decades we gathered relationships, line cards, and hard-earned judgment about what actually works for schools, businesses, nonprofits, and teams that cannot afford to get technology wrong.
In 2026 we put that history into its clearest form yet: the Technology Assurance Cooperative, known as TAC-USA. Think of it as your co-op shop for collaboration technology — unified communications, video, audio, displays, cloud software, computing, and the people who can help you choose wisely.

How about a quick demonstration?
A clear walkthrough of how the Cooperative works — so a stranger can become comfortable in a few minutes.
It is a Co-Op — not merely a store
A cooperative is owned and operated for its members. Profits are not drained away to distant shareholders; they circulate back to the people who participate. Decision-making, buying power, and benefits are shared.
Member benefit first
The purpose of TAC-USA is to meet members’ technology needs — fair access, sound guidance, and durable value — rather than to maximize margin for outsiders.
Shared purchasing power
We draw on the line cards of TD SYNNEX, Ingram Micro, D&H, Jenne, TeleDynamics, Midwich, Sandler Partners, and more. When a large member purchases at scale, that strength becomes available to the whole Cooperative.
Patronage Dividends
As Co-Op activity grows, members share in Patronage Dividends. That is the structural reason membership can return far more than it costs over time. It is a Co-Op.
Who already has a seat at the table
Today, more than 174,000 NYDLA, USDLA, and NADLA schools — and their alumni networks — can access the Technology Co-Op. When you join NYDLA, TAC-USA access is included as a member benefit. Non-DLA visitors are welcome too.
- Since 1983 — decades in telecom and technology, not a new experiment.
- Distributor depth — major line cards under one roof for members.
- 30-day free trial for non-DLA guests who want to evaluate membership.
- $25 / month or $250 / year for paid Co-Op membership.
- $50 TAC Gift Card for completing the guided tour (program rolling out).
We are not trying to win everyone
Some people will always buy through a friend at a big-box reseller. That is fine. We do not need every customer in the market.
We are building for the millions who would measurably benefit from shared buying power, a coherent catalog, professional guidance, and a Cooperative that returns value to its members. You might arrive for one cable, one room system, or one Zoom seat. The question is whether that first need becomes the beginning of a longer relationship with a Co-Op that has your back.
If that sounds like you, we would be honored to have you.
