The CMAS Unit is a part of State of California Department of General Services Procurement Division. The CMAS Unit does not conduct a bid. Instead, the vendor offers the CMAS Unit products, services and prices from an already existing competitively assessed, cost compared multiple award contract. To these products, services and prices, the CMAS Unit adds California contract terms and conditions and procurement codes, policies and guidelines.

Example:

1. Your company won a bid award on audio-visual products from the University of Maryland.
2. You can then submit that already competitively bid contract along with a CMAS application to the State of California.
3. The CMAS Unit will remove the University of Maryland's terms and conditions and add their own terms and conditions as well as their own procurement codes, policies and guidelines.
4. CSU Buyers access DGS eProcurement to search for appropriate CMAS contracts. If substantial savings are realized through the use of your CMAS contract, then buyers will use your contract and issue purchase orders to you.
