Scott Strickland explains the NYC Public Schools' purchases of services from IBM date back to at least 2018 through a master contract held by the Office of Technology & Innovation (OTI).

  • The Department of Education (DOE) repurchases services annually from a master contract held with IBM by OTI.
  • The contractual arrangement between NYC Public Schools and IBM is facilitated by OTI.
  • Services have been purchased from IBM dating at least back to 2018, potentially earlier.
  • The discussion provides clarity on the DOE's longstanding relationship with IBM and the contractual process.
