A recent Transparency Report created by the Office of the State Auditor examined government procurement in the information technology industry. The IT industry had the highest proportion of reported out-of-state contracting of any industry in Fiscal Year 2015.
They found that 40 of the 48 million contract dollars, used in IT were issued to companies out of the state of New Mexico. The state now has to continue to track and establish goal toward making state purchases.
