The State of Texas issued RFP 730UOFH3119 for Enterprise Storage Solution FY26, with proposals due June 29, 2026, seeking competitive bids for enterprise storage systems and related services to modernize IT infrastructure across state agencies, with evaluation criteria emphasizing technical capability, system reliability, scalability, and total cost of ownership. Valencia College District Board of Trustees in Florida released RFP 202626 on April 6, 2026, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026, for classroom and conference room technology services across nine campus locations and approximately 900 rooms, including equipment cabinets with minimum 18 rack units, system design, installation, programming, and turnkey integration services; the College has averaged $1.6 million annually in spending for these services over the past five years and anticipates upgrading 50–75 rooms per year. Both solicitations evidence activity in Texas and Florida; the code appears to see limited recent posting volume overall, with these two opportunities representing current demand in state infrastructure modernization and higher-education technology refresh cycles.
