NEW YORK, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD),  a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today announced it has been awarded a contract by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) to provide deliverables-based IT services (DBITS) to state and local government agencies and other eligible public sector organizations. Through this contract (DIR-CPO-6161), Texas public‑sector organizations can access and benefit from Kyndryl's decades of experience supporting mission‑critical government systems across security and resiliency, cloud, applications, data and AI through the Texas DIR Cooperative Contracts Program which provides a streamlined path to access these capabilities.

Kyndryl's work with government agencies is led by its Kyndryl Consult advisory teams, who help assess current environments, identify modernization priorities and streamline multi‑phase transformation efforts. Through this approach, Kyndryl supports agencies in strengthening cybersecurity, modernizing legacy platforms and enhancing digital service delivery — including permitting and licensing services and healthcare IT environments — while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational continuity.

"Kyndryl is committed to supporting the agencies that millions of Texans depend on every day," said Anita Mikus, VP and managing director for U.S. state and local government, Kyndryl.  "With decades of experience supporting mission‑critical government systems, deep expertise across security, cloud, applications and data, and teams embedded across Texas, we're bringing the capabilities agencies need to modernize legacy platforms, strengthen cybersecurity and deliver more reliable digital services through the DIR contract vehicle."

Across Texas, public sector organizations are modernizing legacy systems, addressing technical debt and strengthening cybersecurity, while integrating responsible approaches to AI adoption. Kyndryl experts can help organizations address growing demands for scalable digital services, including health and human services, transportation, courts, public safety and licensing.
