The Software Licensing Program (SLP) was established in January 1994 and is administered by the Department of General Services, Procurement Division. Extensive software discounts are negotiated with major software publishers that are then passed on to the State, through the SLP contracts established with authorized participating re-sellers.

California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) offers a wide variety of commodity, non-IT Services, and information technology products and services at prices which have been assessed to be fair, reasonable and competitive. The CMAS Program creates a pool of suppliers that an agency can solicit offers from. When utilized correctly, CMAS streamlines the procurement process. This form of procurement differs from the competitive bid process.

The use of CMAS is optional and is available to state and local government agencies. To learn more about the CMAS, email us today.
