CA 1122 PUBLIC SAFETY PROCUREMENT PROGRAM (GSA Component Only) - 1613

Introduction

Prior to utilizing this program, State departments must exhaust all procurement methods.

In order to use the 1122 procurement method, departments must have delegated purchasing authority under the CA 1122 Public Safety Procurement Program (CPSPP) category. This will be indicated on the department’s Purchasing Authority Approval Letter.

The CA 1122 Public Safety Procurement Program is derived from the National Defense Authorization Act (Section 1122) established in FY 1994, revised in FY 2009 and became law under Title 10 Section 381. This law allows for state and local governments to purchase equipment for counter drug (CD), homeland security (HS) and emergency response (ER) activities from specific federal sources. This program establishes sources for non-IT commodities that have been competitively assessed, negotiated, or bid by the Federal General Services Administration (GSA).  The program enables State departments with delegated purchasing authority granted by DGS to purchase from Federal GSA schedules. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has been appointed by the Governor as the designated State Point of Contact (SPOC) to certify eligible State agencies. The Department of General Services (DGS) Procurement Division is responsible for developing statewide procurement policies and procedures for this program.
