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.

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.

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.

  2. Fortinet 16 orders$873K
  3. Dell Technologies 24 orders$873K
  4. Cisco Systems 16 orders$748K

  8. Adobe 17 orders$257K
  9. VMware 19 orders$197K
  10. F5 4 orders$192K

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.
