What is a CMAS Contract?
The California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) is a procurement vehicle which allows state and local agencies to order directly from CMAS suppliers without requesting competitive bids. CMAS promotes the use of small businesses by waiving the fee for orders placed with small businesses certified by the State of California. A CMAS contract is one of many contracts, offering the same or similar products or services, at the same or similar prices, from many different suppliers. CMAS contracts are based on multiple award schedule contracts which have been competitively assessed. The primary source of these contracts is the Federal GSA multiple award schedule program.
