Akamai Technologies, Inc. was awarded a new data communications contract vehicle by the State of Montana. The agreement streamlines how state and local agencies, as well as educational institutions, can acquire Akamai?s security and cloud computing solutions. Public sector organizations currently face a dual challenge: defending against sophisticated cyberthreats while navigating rigid procurement cycles.
This new contract addresses both. It offers a pre-competed, compliance-enabling pathway for government entities to upgrade their infrastructure, serving as a critical alternative to existing solutions. The contract opens new opportunities for several key groups: State and local agencies: Meets mandatory ?pre-competed?
purchasing requirements, allowing for faster deployment of security patches and cloud scale. Education (K-12 and higher ed): Provides schools with a direct mechanism to modernize campuses and protect student data. Other U.S. states: Offers a competitive, authorized vehicle for any state looking to diversify its technology stack through reciprocal agreements.
Akamai Technologies, Inc. will leverage its partnership with Carahsoft Technologies to fulfill orders and provide technical guidance to participating agencies.
