Dell secures $9.7B DoD software deal amid political ties
Dell Federal Systems won a five-year, roughly $9.7 billion Department of Defense contract to supply Microsoft 365, cloud services and on-premises licensing under a second-generation enterprise software agreement, with expected annual savings of about $422 million through consolidated licensing; the award followed a competitive process and comes amid public ties between Dell founder Michael Dell and Donald Trump, including a pledge to fund 'Trump accounts' for children.
