Cleveland Tech Department Notifies Council of Equipment Purchase

The Cleveland Department of Innovation and Technology is moving forward with an equipment acquisition through a cooperative purchasing agreement. Commissioner Larry Jones II submitted a formal notification, identified as File No. 780-2026, regarding the intent to purchase 160 Samsung VXT units. This procurement will be facilitated through CDW-G, a vendor that maintains an office location in the Cleveland area at 6450 Rockside Woods Blvd CDW Locations | CDWG.

The communication was filed with City Council on July 10, 2026. This specific action utilizes an existing cooperative purchasing agreement rather than a new standalone contract process for these items. While the department has filed this notification, the record shows several other communications and emergency measures moving through the council during the same period in July, including various ordinances and resolutions labeled 882-2026 through 885-2026.

As of now, the communication has been officially received and filed. Residents can monitor upcoming City Council sessions to see if any further legislative action or committee reviews are required regarding this technology update.
