  2. IBM 30 orders$5.9M
  3. VMware 18 orders$4.6M

  8. Canon 27 orders$1.9M
  9. Cisco Meraki 49 orders$1.8M
  10. Microsoft 23 orders$1.5M

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.
