Not necessarily.
It sounds like a decent sized company. Is it worth the risk of not
having a support contract on at least some of the machines?
Sometimes you don't know you need it until you do.
I would at least buy rhel for anything production. You can probably get
away with CentOS for less critical user workstations, especially if you
have linux guru's in your IT department, but for a decent sized company,
you can seriously end up losing your job by sacrificing support to save
a few bucks and then an issue comes up that you can't resolve.
