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.

  2. Microsoft 271 orders$380.1M
  3. IBM 171 orders$153.5M

  8. F5 34 orders$12.1M
  9. Oracle 32 orders$12.0M
  10. Broadcom 21 orders$11.3M

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.
