What is coming

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.

  2. Dell Technologies 90 orders$1.5M
  3. Adobe 17 orders$1.2M
  4. VMware 3 orders$755K

  8. Lenovo 2 orders$255K
  9. Juniper Networks 4 orders$254K
  10. Trend Micro 6 orders$244K

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.
