CTG Awarded HGACBuy Contract to Accelerate AI Adoption for Public Agencies

Contract Enables Government and Eligible Nonprofit Organizations to Procure AI and Data Consulting Services Without a Separate RFP

BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Computer Task Group, Inc. (CTG), a Cegeka company, announced today that it has been awarded a nationwide cooperative purchasing contract through HGACBuy, the Houston‑Galveston Area Council’s (H‑GAC) procurement program. Under Contract AI05‑26, eligible government agencies and qualifying nonprofits can now procure CTG’s artificial intelligence and data consulting services directly—without issuing their own competitive bid.

This award allows more than 8,000 HGACBuy member organizations across all 50 states to engage CTG using a pre‑competitively awarded contract with established terms and pricing, significantly reducing procurement time and administrative burden for AI and data initiatives.

Simplifying Access to AI for the Public Sector

Public sector organizations are under increasing pressure to modernize operations, improve decision‑making, and responsibly adopt artificial intelligence—while working with limited resources and complex procurement requirements. The HGACBuy contract provides a streamlined and compliant path to engage CTG for AI and data consulting services that support these goals.

“Government agencies want to move forward with AI, but procurement complexity and compliance uncertainty often slow progress,” said Amit Trivedi, Managing Director, CTG. “Through HGACBuy, agencies can focus on outcomes instead of process—engaging CTG quickly and confidently under a contract that has already been competitively awarded.”

Services Available Under HGACBuy Contract AI05‑26

Through the HGACBuy contract, CTG provides a practical, implementation‑focused portfolio of AI and data services designed for public sector environments, including:

• AI Strategy and Readiness Assessments to evaluate current capabilities and define a realistic roadmap for AI adoption aligned to organizational goals
• Data Modeling and Architecture Design to support and modernize analytics, reporting, and AI use cases
• Business Intelligence and Dashboard Development to provide real-time insights for administrators and executives
• AI and BI Managed Services, including ongoing support and optimization
• Data Governance and DataOps to improve quality, reliability, and compliance
• Platform Administration and Performance Optimization across modern data platforms
• Training and Knowledge Transfer to build internal capability and user adoption

CTG’s approach emphasizes responsible AI adoption, measurable outcomes, and alignment with each agency’s data maturity and regulatory requirements.

“The HGACBuy contract removes a major barrier for agencies that want to take meaningful steps with AI,” added Trivedi. “Whether an organization is assessing readiness or operationalizing AI, this vehicle makes it easier to get started—and to scale responsibly.”
