Secretary of State
What the state has announced this department will buy, what landed on its purchase record this week, and five years of what it bought, all from the state's own published lists and procurement registry. The record runs back to Mar 6, 2013.
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.

Top categories
Where the five-year money went, by product category. Share is of the department's five-year IT total.
Suppliers of record
Who held the paper: the supplier named on the order, which in California is usually the reseller, not the maker.
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.
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.
The runbook for Secretary of State
Every order and line item with its filing, the buyers of record and program owners by name, the renewal calendar with term dates, the budget requests behind each project above, and the plays this record supports, each dated. A Territory Scan ranks this department against the other 175.
