DoD ESI

Overview
The DoD ESI was formed in 1998 by Chief Information Officers at the DoD. To save time and money on commercial software, a joint team of experts was formed to consolidate requirements and negotiate with commercial software companies, resulting in a unified contracting and vendor management strategy across the entire department. Today, DoD ESI's mission extends across the entire commercial IT life=cycle to include IT hardware products and services. DoD ESI has established DoD-wide agreements for thousands of products and services.
