1122 Basics – Contracting with GSA Suppliers - 1613.1

Products

The CA 1122 Public Safety Procurement Program offers primarily Federal GSA multiple award schedule pricing with suppliers that provide non-IT goods.

Contract Price is Maximum 

Contract prices for products and/or services must be equal to or lower than the prices set in the base GSA contract.  Departments are strongly encouraged to negotiate lower prices and seek competition.

1122 GSA Suppliers

Only the prime GSA 1122 contractor and resellers who are explicitly listed in the GSA contract s can sell the goods listed in their GSA 1122 contract.

How to Apply for 1122 Delegated Authority

To become certified for participation in the CA 1122 Public Safety Procurement Program, a department must apply with CalOES. The requesting department submits a letter to CalOES requesting certification in CD, HS, and/or ER. Prepared letters are reviewed and if approved, a confirmation letter is sent to the department authorizing their participation in the selected activity.

The approval letter from CalOES to the state department must accompany the Purchasing Authority Change Request (PACR) to be considered for delegated purchasing authority by DGS.

Purchasing Authority Dollar Thresholds

No 1122 order (Purchase Order/Contract) may be executed by a department that exceeds the department’s 1122 purchasing authority dollar threshold or 1122 maximum dollar threshold. Exemption requests shall be considered by the DGS/PD on a case by case basis.
