The California Department of Technology has awarded a contract for IT Goods to Chicago-Soft Ltd, valued at $174,883.00, with a completion date of April 10, 2027. The contract encompasses the provision of mainframe computing capacity licenses, specifically Millions of Instructions Per Second (MIPS) Cap Allowances for IBM z-series processors. The contract covers two annual periods, with Year 1 services valued at $86,362.00 and Year 2 services valued at $88,521.00, representing a 2.5 percent annual increase.

The contracted services support mainframe operations across two California locations: Gold Camp and Vacaville. The infrastructure subject to these MIPS Cap Allowances includes multiple IBM z-series processors—specifically z14 and z15 models—identified by their respective serial numbers and CPU model identifiers. These licensing arrangements enable the State to optimize mainframe computing resources and manage processing capacity across its designated facilities during the contract performance period.
