The state commission that oversees purchases for health, mental health and nutrition services for residents spent more than $37 million on the top five IT purchases in October.

The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) spent exactly $37,548,129 on its five largest such buys. Here, with rounding, is where that money went, based on data from the Texas Comptroller’s (CPA) “Payment to Payee” visualization.


The periodic reports of spending on IT goods and services by agencies and departments in state government are compiled by Industry Insider — Texas as a way of highlighting procurements and trends.
