Cleveland Innovation and Technology Department Notifies Council of New Equipment Purchase

The City of Cleveland’s Department of Innovation and Technology has submitted a notification regarding the acquisition of new computing hardware for city use. Filed under 781-2026, the communication from Commissioner Larry Jones II details the city's intent to utilize a cooperative purchasing agreement with Dell Technologies to acquire Dell Pro Max Tower T2 FCT equipment.

This notification serves as official notice of the department's utilization of an existing purchasing framework rather than a new standalone contract. The hardware being sought is part of a broader ecosystem of technology services provided by Dell, which maintains a business presence in several Ohio cities, including Cleveland Indeed.com. While several other emergency ordinances and resolutions were passed by City Council around mid-July 2026, this specific file remains categorized as a communication regarding the procurement process.

As of the latest record, the communication has been officially filed with City Council. Residents can monitor upcoming City Council sessions to see how the department continues to manage technology infrastructure and equipment updates.
