The State of California is establishing a multiple‑award, fixed‑price, statewide contract for the supply of data‑logger hardware, related sensors, software licences, accessories, and associated services (installation, calibration, maintenance, and data‑management). The contract will be administered by the California Department of Technology and will be open to any qualified vendor that meets the pre‑qualification (eVAQ) requirements.
