The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) awarded Kyndryl a contract that will allow eligible public sector organizations across the state to buy the company’s deliverables-based IT services.
The award gives Texas state and local government agencies another procurement vehicle for IT modernization and transformation work. According to the company’s press release, the contract is intended to support mission‑critical government systems across security and resiliency, cloud, applications, data and artificial intelligence through the Texas DIR Cooperative Contracts Program, which provides a streamlined path to access these capabilities.
“With decades of experience supporting mission‑critical government systems, deep expertise across security, cloud, applications and data, and teams embedded across Texas, we’re bringing the capabilities agencies need to modernize legacy platforms, strengthen cybersecurity and deliver more reliable digital services through the DIR contract vehicle,” said Anita Mikus, vice president and managing director for U.S. state and local government at Kyndryl.
This contract aims to meet the rising demand for scalable digital services across sectors including health and human services, transportation, courts, public safety, and licensing, according to Kyndryl officials. The company’s approach helps agencies modernize without interrupting critical services, they added.
