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.

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.
