On March 31, 1951, the Census Bureau accepted delivery of the first UNIVAC computer. The final cost of constructing the first UNIVAC was close to one million dollars. Forty-six UNIVAC computers were built for both government and business uses.

Sorry, no such machine existed. The companies IBM and UNIVAC were independent and competitors, producing very different computers.
In the year 1951, the UNIVAC I began sales.
UNIVAC stands for Universal Automatic Computer. It was one of the earliest commercial computers produced in the United States, designed for general-purpose computing tasks.
The first commercial computer, UNIVAC, was purchased by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951. The nature of their work involved processing vast amounts of data for the national census, which required efficient data management and analysis — tasks that computers could perform much faster and more accurately than manual methods. This made the UNIVAC an ideal solution for handling the complexity and volume of census data.
The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first commercial computer produced in the United States. It was also the name of a business unit and division of the Remington Rand company formed by the 1950 purchase of the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation.
