Gateway Lands Notebook PC Contract With the State of Tennessee

Gateway, the nation's third-largest PC company has added Tennessee to the growing number of states purchasing Gateway's products. The state selected Gateway as a business class notebooks and convertible notebook provider under the Notebook State Wide Contract.

The contract provides preferred pricing on Gateway's E-Series professional line of notebook products including the lightweight M250, performance-oriented M460 and the award-winning M280 convertible notebook. Beginning immediately, state agencies, local governments, educational institutions and other not-for-profit state run organizations can purchase Gateway notebooks under the contract. The award was given after an open competition resulting in a 3-year agreement with an optional 1-year extension. The actual value of the contract depends on purchasing decisions by individual agencies and organizations, but is estimated at approximately $6.4 million.

"Statewide agencies are recognizing the benefit of working with technology providers that can provide them with value-oriented, powerful technology solutions that keep them well within budget but ultimately assist with productivity," said Vin Riera, vice president of government sales, Gateway. "Gateway is focused on meeting customers' needs and providing them with the product, services and solutions they need to concentrate on what matters most -- the business of the state and its residents."
