NCB 6602 Infiniti Consulting Group

The State Treasurer's Office of California issued a Non-Competitive Bid (NCB) contract opportunity for IT services with Infiniti Consulting Group, specifically focused on service, maintenance, and training for a customized software program and database that has been in use for 30 years. The contract, originally covering the period from 5/1/15 to 6/30/17, includes an initial 6-month term with one 6-month extension option, and involves providing ongoing technical support for the Securities Management Integrated Data System. The procurement stems from the dissolution of the original vendor, Scorpio Systems International Inc., following the death of its president in December 2014. Infiniti Consulting Group will provide monthly IT services and system maintenance at a rate of $11,000, with the contract initially valued at $154,000 and subsequently amended to $286,000 through a $132,000 addition. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with Government Code Section 14825 and is being documented in the Fi$Cal database for record-keeping purposes.

This non-competitive bid does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. The contract is uniquely structured around maintaining continuity of a proprietary software system that has been critical to the State Treasurer's Office operations for three decades. No competitive bidding process is being conducted, as this is a direct procurement to ensure uninterrupted access to an essential technological infrastructure. The procurement leverages the state's right to use existing source code to maintain operational capabilities after the original vendor's dissolution. The total contract value of $286,000 represents a significant investment in maintaining a specialized, long-standing technological solution that supports the Centralized Treasury and Securities Management Division's operational needs.
