When SB 122 goes into law on January 1, 2027, California sales tax and use law will apply to prewritten software and SaaS platforms for public agencies, including eProcurement tools, at a rate of 7.25% plus applicable local district taxes.

This fundamental change to how software is handled means that every software purchase made on or after that date will be subject to this tax on the full contract price, both at signing and at every renewal.

If your agency is actively evaluating software, time is now of the essence. Signing before January 1 means you'll avoid the tax on a purchase for as long as the original contract is in effect.

PlanetBids is a California agency, and we understand your challenges. We've been helping public procurement teams in California and nationwide meet ever-changing compliance obligations, and we're ready to help you through this challenge as well.

If you've been considering digital procurement or thinking of making a vendor change, let's talk about why now is the time to make a move, before it becomes a bigger hit to your budget.

Earlier this year, we asked public procurement professionals how their agencies feel about AI. The results were all over the place.

27% said yes in some form. 25% said no, and that it’s not in the plan. And 48% were somewhere in the middle – either evaluating, waiting on policy, or uncertain.

Unfortunately, that means almost half of our respondents are at risk of being unprepared for further AI advances.

For the past three months, we've discussed all the problems surrounding vendor engagement, how a shallow vendor pool can hurt your agency and your purchasing, and how to reach more suppliers for more competitive bids.

We've wrapped everything up in our Engagement and Compliance resource center, where you can find articles on improving vendor engagement, a downloadable white paper and checklist to help you build a stronger network, and this week's webinar recording all about vendor communication.

Check it out now, especially if you're analyzing vendor performance and participation.

While your team is focused on running day-to-day procurement, your vendor pool could be quietly draining in the background.

Vendors go dormant or exit the market, categories get narrower, and the first sign of a problem is often unnoticed or ignored.

Join PlanetBids and Tammy Rimes, Executive Director, National Cooperative Procurement Partners, for a webinar discussing how to prevent the slow weakening of your vendor market, and what to do if yours is already shrinking.

“How Deep is Your Pool? Improving Engagement and Competition Through Consistent Vendor Maintenance covers how to track and manage the suppliers you have, analyze your category health, and reach new vendors to strengthen your pool before a thin solicitation forces your hand.

If vendor participation and competition has been on your mind, this is the session to attend.

Wondering if your vendor network could be a bit stronger?

It’s tough to manage a list of thousands of suppliers while you’re busy putting out important solicitations. But consistent vendor management is a key component of an efficient procurement department that efficiently utilizes public funds.

If your agency is seeing a lot of low bid responses or single-bid contracts, it’s time to take a look at your network and see where you can make adjustments for better outreach and improved competition.

Join Tammy Rimes, Executive National Cooperative Procurement Partners, for a webinar discussing practical ways to keep an eye on your vendor network and improve engagement in the background, without taking away valuable time from your solicitations and contracts.

You’ll hear from other procurement experts on best practices and come away with some insights to help you be more efficient and save money.
