The 2027 transit projects table shows Western Iowa Transit has multiple 5339-funded capital projects for conversion vans and light-duty buses, each marked as "Submitted" with specific unit numbers such as JJ04, 1401, 1104, 1508, 1509, 1103, 1604, 1504, 1402, 1704, 1601, 1506, 1605, and 1505. Each vehicle has a total cost in the 102425–167557 range, with roughly 81940–134045 in FTA funding and the balance from local sources. While the vehicles are identified at the unit level, no manufacturer or dealer is named, but the fact they are tied to specific unit numbers suggests Western Iowa Transit is actively replacing or upgrading its fleet under existing capital plans. For vendors, this provides insight into fleet size, replacement patterns, and the scale of 5339 funding in the region, which can support follow-on opportunities for future vehicle batches, maintenance contracts, onboard technology (AVL, cameras, fare systems), and fleet management services as these vehicles are deployed.

The July 9, 2026 Finance Committee agenda includes approval of a purchase of computers and computer accessories for Southern Illinois University Carbondale. This indicates a sizable refresh or expansion of IT hardware, likely supporting academic, administrative, and research computing needs. While the agenda does not name a vendor, the purchase approval means the main selection decision is either made or imminent, making this mostly incumbent and volume intelligence. Hardware, peripherals, deployment, imaging, and lifecycle vendors can still target downstream opportunities like setup services, asset management tools, extended warranties, and future replacement cycles based on the scale of this refresh.
Agenda does not detail quantities, models, or procurement vehicle, but signals an institution-wide h...
The Board approved a one‑year contract with Dell Marketing L.P. for up to 3000000 in purchases of computers and related accessories for SIU Carbondale. Using a Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) master agreement, SIU will acquire desktops, servers, storage, tablets, laptops, monitors, and accessories under standardized configurations. Dell has been SIUC’s primary platform for roughly 20 years, with this contract consolidating departmental orders to capture volume savings between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027. For hardware, services, and integration vendors, this signals a large, ongoing Dell‑centric endpoint and infrastructure environment, with potential opportunities around deployment services, imaging, lifecycle management, peripherals, and planning for future refreshes beyond this contract term.
OIT will fund purchases and recharge departments; Dell is the long‑time standard in student labs, cl...
The transit section identifies a 2027 Western Iowa Transit project using STBG funds to purchase one medium-duty standard bus, with a total cost of 250000 and 200000 in FHWA/FTA federal funding plus 50000 in local match. This is distinct from the detailed 5339 vehicle list and indicates a planned capital investment in the regional transit fleet. Because the project is listed as "Submitted" and programmed rather than awarded, Western Iowa Transit will still need to procure the vehicle through an FTA-compliant process, which may involve state vehicle contracts or competitive bids. Bus manufacturers, upfitters, and dealers can engage with Western Iowa Transit to understand vehicle specifications, timing, and whether a state cooperative purchasing contract will be used for the acquisition.
