Here Are State Water Resources’ Top IT Goods Buys in January

A key state water department made many IT goods purchases last month and spent several millions on the five most expensive.

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) made 64 such purchases in January and spent just more than $5 million on the five costliest. DWR spent exactly $5,006,364.28 on those five purchases; here, with rounding, is what that money paid for, based on data in the State Contract and Procurement Registration System:

• $4.2 million to Solutions Simplified for “classic DocuSign platform offering annual.” DWR made the purchase Jan. 25.
