Meeting the new Tennessee Procurement Protection Act with NetSupport
The Tennessee Procurement Protection Act (TPPA), which came into effect on July 1, 2026, is prompting public sector organizations across Tennessee to review the technology products and services they procure.
The legislation places restrictions on state and local public bodies knowingly purchasing or contracting for certain information and communication technology, software and electronic devices from companies defined within the Act as ‘foreign adversary companies’. As a result, many organizations are reassessing existing contracts and evaluating alternative solutions ahead of upcoming renewals and new projects.
The Act applies to a wide range of public sector organizations, including:
- K-12 public school districts
- Public universities and community colleges
- State government departments and agencies
- Counties and municipalities
- Other Tennessee public bodies covered by the legislation
