Great post, SDCRBS! Thanks for the reminders and details you have been posting. Since I'm from Ohio (and since Melvin was living in Akron), I asked Gemini for some more detail/clarification and confirmation on the Ohio contracts. ---->
Based on public records from the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and OhioBuys, here is the current status and specific details regarding Veemost Technologies Inc.’s contracts with the State of Ohio.
1. Key Active Contract: IBM Software & Services
A significant public filing from late 2025 confirms that Veemost Technologies Inc. has established a formal agreement with the State of Ohio for IBM solutions.
Scope: This agreement allows the State of Ohio and its various agencies to purchase IBM software licenses through Veemost.
Terms: The contract was established for a period of one year (expiring in late 2026), designed to eliminate the need for individual competitive bidding for each purchase.
Eligibility: It is a statewide agreement, meaning any Ohio state agency, board, or commission can procure licenses directly under these pre-negotiated terms.
2. VeeBids Platform Integration
The contract mentioned above is managed through Veemost’s proprietary VeeBids platform. According to company disclosures to the OTC Markets:
VeeBids is used to "streamline the government procurement process."
It serves as the interface for state and local entities in Ohio to source critical technology solutions while maintaining compliance with state procurement rules.
3. E-Rate & Education Sector Contracts
Veemost has a strong presence in the Ohio E-Rate program (the federal program for schools and libraries).
Recent Wins: In March 2025, Veemost announced winning nine (9) E-Rate bids specifically for technology infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions for Ohio schools.
Funding Category: Most of these fall under "Category Two" funding, which covers internal connections and managed broadband services.
