GeoComm Awarded CMAS Contract
GeoComm, a leader in public safety software, consulting, and Geographic
Information Services (GIS), announced today the company has been
awarded a California Multiple Award Schedule [CMAS] (3-06-70-2372A).
The CMAS contract mirrors our GSA schedule offering our GIS public
safety software suite and related IT services.
This government schedule simplifies the process for state and local
government agencies in the State of California to purchase our public
safety GIS software solutions. This award is significant because it allows
agencies to directly acquire products and services through the CMAS
contract without going to bid or through exhaustive competitive pricing
procedures.
The contracts are utilized statewide by both California state and local
government agencies under delegated authority from the Department of
General Services. Agencies make best value purchasing decisions
according to their own business needs such as price, warranty, and
supplier performance.
Dan Rudningen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at GeoComm,
said, "We are pleased about the award of our CMAS contract. This opens
up opportunities for our potential customers in California to follow their
standard purchasing protocol by purchasing our software off the statewide
contract. As a result, we are enabled to assist jurisdictions across the
state in procuring the public safety GIS software they require for an
effective E9-1-1 system."
About CMAS: The California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) program
was established in 1994. The CMAS contracts are awarded and
administered by the State of California, Department of General Services,
Procurement Division, in accordance with Public Contract Code (PCC)
Sections 10290 et seq. and Section 12101.5.
The CMAS contracts are established using products, services and prices
from already existing competitively assessed and cost compared multiple
award contracts. The products, services and prices are primarily from the
federal General Services Administration (GSA) multiple award schedule
program Federal General Services Administration (GSA), but not
exclusively. To these products, services and prices, we add California
contract terms and conditions and procurement codes and policies and
establish a totally independent California contract.
