CTL Secures BuyBoard Contract 749-24 for Instructional Technology
CTL, a long-time provider of cloud-first computing for schools and businesses, has been awarded BuyBoard contract 749-24. Focused on Instructional Technology Equipment and Related Services, the agreement lowers purchasing hurdles and opens a clearer path for CTL to serve more classrooms and public agencies.
How the BuyBoard Contract Helps Schools and Agencies
With the contract’s effective date set for a future date, CTL will make its products available at pre-negotiated pricing. That means purchasing teams can move faster, skip separate bid cycles, and still buy competitively. It also broadens access so more public sector organizations can adopt the tools they need without an extra layer of paperwork.
Mike Mahanay, Vice President of Business Development and Government Relations at CTL, put it plainly: “Having the BuyBoard Instructional Technology contract means we can offer our products to a wider range of public sector customers at pre-negotiated pricing. This supports educational and governmental agencies across the nation with high-quality ChromeOS devices.”

Mahanay noted that the award reinforces CTL’s focus on delivering practical, modern technology to its customers. “This contract aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative technology solutions to our customers. We’re excited about the opportunities it brings and look forward to supporting even more educational and governmental agencies.” As the contract goes live, CTL plans to deepen its support for organizations that rely on straightforward procurement and dependable devices.
