The one-year contract extension with Dell, worth up to $23 million, was negotiated through the Department of General Services. The commonwealth will source information technology hardware directly from Dell and offer volume pricing to state agencies and state-affiliated entities to purchase technology products and services.
The commonwealth's initial two-year contract with Dell, which began in 2004, saved the state $38.2 million over its duration. The additional savings expected under the one-year extension means the state will have saved nearly $50 million on this contract.
