Cleveland Innovation Department Notifies Council of Dell Technology Equipment Purchase
The Cleveland Department of Innovation and Technology Services is moving forward with plans to acquire new technology hardware through an existing contract. Commissioner Larry Jones II submitted communication 959-2026 to notify the City Council of the intent to use a cooperative purchasing agreement with Dell Technology to obtain the necessary equipment.
What's in the file

- Dell Technology: The vendor providing the equipment under a cooperative agreement.
Status and timeline
