The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reported, via the State Contracting and Procurement Registration System, that its five largest purchases of IT goods from Jan. 1 through June 30 totaled $4,368,139, with rounding. They included telematic licensing for fleet vehicles, data storage and other subscriptions for services. The five largest purchases were:
- $943,298 for “Geotab GO9 Verizon Monthly Service,” a reference to GPS fleet-tracking and telematics technology. The April 8 statewide contract award was made with Geotab USA.
- $934,480 for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data storage, a March 10 award to Mythics Inc. under the California Multiple Award Schedules.
- $926,503 for a one-year Engineering Workbench subscription with IHS Global Inc. The May 28 contract for the data-and-insights tool was exempt (non-competitively bid) because it’s a proprietary product.
- $827,997 for “/M1ANNUALSAAS Annual SaaS Billing,” a May 28 award for software as a service to EJ Ward Inc. under an exempt contract. EJ Ward specializes in fuel management, electric vehicle charging and GPS solutions for fleets.
