St. Cloud, MN – GeoComm, a leader in public safety software, consulting, and Geographic Information Services (GIS), announced today the company has been awarded a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) contract DIR-SDD-808. The DIR contract mirrors our GSA IT schedule 70 offering our GIS public safety software suite and related IT services at a discounted rate.
This government contract simplifies the process for state and local government agencies in the State of Texas and elsewhere to purchase our public safety GIS software offerings. This award is significant because it allows agencies to directly acquire products and services through the DIR contract without going to bid or through exhaustive competitive pricing procedures.
The contracts are utilized statewide by both Texas state and local government agencies under delegated authority from the Department of Information Resources. Agencies make best value purchasing decisions according to their own business needs such as price, warranty, and supplier performance.
Dan Rudningen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at GeoComm, said, “We are pleased about the award of our DIR contract. This opens up opportunities for our potential customers in Texas to follow their standard purchasing protocol by purchasing our software off the statewide contract. As a result, we are enabled to assist jurisdictions across the state in procuring the public safety GIS software they require for an effective E9-1-1 system.”
