iBridge wins California CMAS contract for government IT services

iBridge has secured a California Multiple Award Schedule contract from the state’s Department of General Services, giving California agencies and local governments a faster path to buy the company’s IT and digital transformation services. The award follows iBridge’s recent federal GSA schedule status and expands its direct access to public-sector buyers without additional competitive bidding.

Why it matters: - The CMAS award gives California state and local agencies a direct procurement path to iBridge’s services. - Eligible buyers can avoid additional competitive bidding, which can cut contracting timelines from months to weeks. - The contract expands iBridge’s reach across federal, state and local government buying channels.

What happened: - iBridge announced that the California Department of General Services awarded the company a California Multiple Award Schedule contract. - The contract number is CMAS No. 3-26-07-1016. - The award covers information technology consulting services, cloud computing and cloud-related IT professional services. - The contract is available to California state agencies and local government entities, including counties, cities, special districts, the University of California, California State University, K-12 school districts and community colleges. - The CMAS win follows iBridge’s recent prime contractor status on the federal GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Contract No. 47QTCA26D002L. - The two awards together give agencies access to iBridge’s services at pre-negotiated, GSA-based pricing.

The details: - Under California Public Contract Code sections 10298 and 10299, eligible agencies may contract with CMAS holders without further competitive bidding. - iBridge’s core service areas under the award include document conversion and scanning, data and records management, database design and system integration, software development and system implementation, project management and security assessment. - iBridge says the company has more than two decades of records management work for county governments. - The company cited past work for Alameda, Santa Clara, San Bernardino and Merced counties. - iBridge also pointed to long-standing service to regulated industries nationwide. - The company is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, and has global delivery operations. - iBridge describes itself as a minority-owned digital transformation company focused on document intelligence, records digitization and IT professional services.

Between the lines: - The timing suggests iBridge is using government contract vehicles to widen distribution after securing federal and California access in the same year. - The combination of GSA and CMAS status can make iBridge easier to buy for public agencies that want pre-cleared vendors and faster award cycles. - Desh Urs, founder and CEO of iBridge, said California has been central to the company’s government practice for more than 20 years and framed the new award as a compliant route to that expertise.

What's next: - California agencies interested in the contract can view it on the DGS Cal eProcure portal or contact iBridge directly. - The company is positioned to pursue more public-sector work through its federal and California schedule contracts. - iBridge may use the new procurement access to expand project volume across digitization, cloud and systems work.

The bottom line: - iBridge now has two major government contracting vehicles, which should make it easier for agencies to buy its services quickly and without a new competitive bid process.
