Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State expects to centralize purchases under IOT. Software purchases will be made by IOT on behalf of State Agencies. Other Governmental Bodies may purchase software utilizing the resulting agreement; however, they will most likely use their own purchasing process (in certain cases, they may partner with IOT to make purchases). IOT’s goal is to standardize software purchased and to channel most purchases to meet enterprise requirements at the lowest price point, without sacrificing quality. The objective remains to realize purchase volume efficiencies and to manage the oversight of this contract in a centralized fashion to ensure that agencies make use of the resultant contract(s) for the purchase of software.
