STATEWIDE CONTRACTS (SC) - 1606

Introduction

Statewide Contracts (SCs) are competitively bid and awarded contracts established by the DGS/PD to take advantage of lower costs passed on by suppliers bidding on large quantities of goods repetitively used by multiple State departments.  These contracts have unlimited dollar thresholds unless otherwise noted in the specific contract user instructions.  Departments must use mandatory SCs if so designated in the user instructions.

The DGS/PD has successfully integrated sourcing into its regular operations.  Therefore, all LPAs previously referred to as California Strategically Sourced Contracts (CSSI) are now called SCs.
