Yes, covid related supply chain delays were a problem with this particular purchase as well as others but the delays were all within the contract's conditions except the the school system didn't excercise the contract's remedies, and then proceeded to spend even more unnecessary money instead.

It seems to be a problem with the school system's purchasing people, I would hope other large contracts made by the school system will also be looked at.
