Easy access to cost-effective connectivity solutions with CALNET NextGen

Innovations and system efficiencies that can increase civic engagement and satisfaction require government agencies to have reliable, cost-effective, high-speed connectivity and a solid network foundation. Procuring the essential networking services and network solutions can be complex, especially for government agencies with limited IT resources. The California Network and Telecommunications (CALNET) contract is making it easier for state agencies to expand digital services and protect citizen data and government systems.

Issued by the California Department of Technology, the CALNET contract provides easy access to telecommunications and network services to more than 200 state and 2,100 non‑state agencies. Agencies fill out just one form, simplifying the procurement process.
