Upcoming projects and purchasing
What the state has already published about this department's next technology money, newest commitments first: projects on CDT's approval lifecycle, projects under way, solicitations open now, and audits whose responses name what will be bought. The budget request behind each one, and who owns it, is in the runbook.
Nothing announced: no project on CDT's lists, no IT solicitation open and no audit in progress for this department as of the last weekly pass. The purchase record below is what there is.
mostly Security & Identity; Palo Alto Networks on the paper; largest supplier of record Kovarus Inc.

Top categories
Where the five-year money went, by product category. Share is of the department's five-year IT total.
Suppliers of record
Who held the paper: the supplier named on the order, which in California is usually the reseller, not the maker.
Manufacturers on the paper
Per maker, read from the line items, each line counted once and never more than the order it sits on. This is the figure to quote; it is a purchase record, not an install base.
A manufacturer absent here may have been bought through a statewide contract that never names it on this department's paper. Absence is a question, not a finding.
