Web2ExpoSF 09 / Gov2Expo: Carolyn Lawson and Adrian Farley,
summary
State and local governments spend about $60 billion a year on IT (California about $2 billion; federal about $66 billion), with Recovery Act pools like $21B for health IT and $7B for broadband; projected IT spend rises to ~$75–80B by 2011. Procurement routes matter: small business registration lets departments buy under $100K with two quotes; California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) handles up to $500K; MSAs reach ~$1.5M. CMAS approval typically takes 30–60 days, vendor fairs and RFIs are common, and legacy archives (30 years, ~6,000 decisions/year) drive demand for data, BI and shared Web 2.0 services.
