The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) spent about $68 million on its five largest IT-related purchases in the second quarter of 2024.

According to the Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System, DEP spent $68,050,207 on services such as networking software, information technology consulting, license management software, operating system software and business function specific software.

The five largest contracts were:
  • $15,134,540 to SHI International Corp., a company that provides IT products and services, helping organizations in various sectors with technology selection, deployment and management
  • $13,877,919 to Carahsoft, a firm that markets, sells and deploy a full range of IT solutions for public-sector customers in the U.S. and Canada

  • $12,337,797 to Dell Marketing L.P., an IT corporation that sells, manufactures, develops and supports computers and related products.

The $68,050,207 is significantly greater than the $10,310,393 that DEP spent on its five largest IT services contracts in the second quarter of 2023.
