CALNET EXEMPTION - 4605

CALNET Exemption requests apply only to Non-Exempt State Entities.

Non-Exempt State Entities, with a compelling business reason to use alternative providers to purchase a Required Service outside the CALNET Contracts, must submit a CALNET Exemption request to Office of Technology Services (OTech) for evaluation and approval prior to purchasing services elsewhere.

A CALNET Exemption request must apply to a specific telecommunications project or acquisition and must provide pertinent, specific information on the proposed services. The request must provide an explanation of why services from the CALNET Contract(s) would not meet the designated need and the ramifications if the need is not met.

All CALNET Exemptions will require a General Telecommunications Delegation. All CALNET Exemptions are granted for a limited term to be established by OTech at the time of approval. See SAM Chapter 4603 General Telecommunications Delegation.
