A couple of big-ticket projects led the California Highway Patrol to spend just more than $57 million on IT services in the second quarter of the year.

CHP invested in the development and implementation of a document management system (DMS) and paid for consulting related to the Employment Development Department’s EDDNext modernization initiative. These purchases accounted for the vast majority of CHP’s five largest buys of IT services in the second quarter of 2024, from April 1 through June 30.

According to the State Contracting and Procurement Registration System, CHP’s five largest buys of IT services in Q2 totaled $57,093,101. Those five buys, with rounding, were:
  • $42,973,661 for DMS development and implementation services, in a four-year contract running from April 10, 2024, through June 30, 2028, with Deloitte Consulting LLP in a formal, competitively bid contract.
  • $10,541,440 for EDDNext project management consulting services with The iFish Group in a two-year, competitively bid contract running from April 24, 2024, through April 23, 2026.
  • $2,484,000 for IT consulting in Fiscal Year 2023-24 in an IT Master Services Agreement (IT MSA) contract with Delegata Corp. that runs from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025.
  • $594,000 for data center migration services in an IT MSA contract with SLED IT Solutions Inc. that runs from June 28, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
  • $500,000 for an applied research consultant for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 in a contract with Gartner Inc. that runs from April 24, 2024, through June 30, 2025. This was awarded under California Multiple Award Schedules.
CHP’s document management system and its work with EDD on the EDDNext project increased the Patrol’s spending significantly above the corresponding period one year ago. For comparison, in the second quarter of 2023, CHP’s five largest purchases of IT services totaled $2,195,343.
