Note: DIR is excited to introduce the new iteration of TEX-AN 2021, that will aim to pull the services listed on this page under the TEX-AN contract. Please continue to check this page for future updates.

Using DIR Wireless, Conferencing, Satellite & Other Telecom Managed Services Contracts, every dollar you save is money you can spend on your mission-critical services. No matter what technology or IT services you need, we are ready to help.

DIR's pre-negotiated contracts for telecommunication services span a broad range including wireless products and services (hardware, software, and services for wireless voice, data, pagers, and satellite voice, and mobile), conferencing services (audio, video, and web conferencing, and webcasting services only), and Other Telecom Managed Services. 

Texas state agencies must use these contracts to order through the actual providers (vendors). Institutions of higher education and other eligible entities may also order through these vendors. Learn more about Customer Eligibility.
