With over 38 million residents (12% of the population), the State of California is the most populous state in the nation and has the third largest land area among the states (163,695 square miles). California is culturally, ethnically, economically, ecologically, and politically diverse, and maintains the eighth largest economy in the world with 13 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. California also faces numerous risks and threats to our people, property, economy, environment and is prone to earthquakes, floods, significant wildfires, prolonged drought impacts, public health emergencies, cybersecurity attacks, agricultural and animal disasters, as well threats to homeland security. Cal OES takes a proactive approach to addressing these risks, threats, and vulnerabilities that form the basis of our mission and has been tested through real events, as well as comprehensive exercises that help us maintain our state of readiness and plan for and mitigate impacts.

We are proud to announce the launch of our new logo which is the initial phase of the ongoing evolution of our brand.  The new logo retains the essential essence and recognition of the original logo.  It is the result of the progression from the glowing electro realism to the trending simplified bold color look.

Patricio Systems has come to stand for technical expertise and commitment to our client’s success. We believe those essential qualities are what have earned our work recognition like the GSA award recently granted by the industry and the frequent referrals sent to us by our clients. But the nature of our technical world is constant evolution and reinvention. That means taking every opportunity to improve ourselves in order to stay abreast of the times, making us excited to announce a refreshed logo and brand treatment.

Existing Logo:

We have worked closely with local and industry brand and design experts to retain the essential essence of the original logo. We felt it important to pay homage to the clients and talent that have made us who we are today by retaining the blue circular shield element emblazoned with the Patricio (P). But you will notice the refresh has embraced the preference for simplicity executed in strong, bold color choices widely seen across most technology brands.

New Logo:

We understand that how our brand “shows up” reflects on our talent, clients, and future associations. The following links provide samples of logo evolution and a good job of explaining how the old logo had become dated and how the new logo connects us with today’s trends.  They provide samples of progression from the glowing electro realism (embodied in our current logo) and how design is trending to the new simplified bold color look.

To amplify the effect of our new logo, we have switched our brand font to Calibri because the font repeats the friendly people friendly rounded edges that the original Patricio P has always sported. You will also notice our brand approach to become more straight forward and clean.

Rollout of this new logo will be methodical and gradual, ensuring there is no impact to the services to our clients.  

Patricio Systems LLC was awarded a CMAS (California Multiple Award Schedule) # 3-21-07-2018. The CMAS program allows California State & Local Government Agencies access to products and services at prices which have been accessed to be fair, reasonable, and competitive.

CMAS Number:	3-21-07-2018
CMAS Term Dates:	7/9/2021 through 12/9/2025
CMAS Category:	Information Technology Goods & Services
For use by:	California State & Local Government Agencies
Base Schedule #:	47QTCA21D002V
Base Schedule Holder:	Patricio Systems LLC

https://www.dgs.ca.gov/PD/About/Page-Content/PD-Branch-Intro-Accordion-List/Acquisitions/California-Multiple-Award-Schedules

“The State of California establishes multiple award agreements in accordance with Public Contract Code Sections 10290 et seq. and 12101.5 (effective January 1994). A multiple award is an award to two or more contractors for the same products and/or services at the same or similar prices. Multiple award does not pertain to the number of buyers who would be ordering from the agreement, but rather the number of contractors receiving an award from a common bid process.

CMAS agreements are not established through a competitive bid process conducted by the State of California. Because of this, all pricing, products and/or services offered must have been previously bid and awarded on a Federal GSA schedule. The supplier completes a CMAS Application offering products and/or services at prices based on an existing Federal GSA multiple award schedule. This schedule is referred to as the “base” contract. Upon review and acceptance of the application, the CMAS Unit awards a CMAS agreement which includes the State of California contract terms and conditions, procurement codes, policies, and guidelines. For clarity, the CMAS Program does not “use” the GSA Authorized Federal Supply Service Schedule. Instead, we establish a totally independent California agreement for the same products and services at equal or lower prices. Once a CMAS is awarded, the Contractor markets and distributes the CMAS, and provides the CMAS Unit with quarterly reports of CMAS sales transactions.”

Patricio Systems LLC was awarded a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), Contract 47QTCA21D002V.  The base period of performance begins 12/10/2020 and ends 12/09/2025 with potential of three (5) year options to follow.
