2022 has been a year of huge success at Acuity Technical Solutions.

Acuity Technical Solutions is as a state certified small business and micro business. In 2007, we started out as an IT consulting firm. Since then, we’ve expanded to provide hardware, software, and non-IT consulting services. In 2022, we continued our explosive growth as the State’s fastest growing certified small business as we experienced a jaw dropping 150% growth in revenue. Acuity sold products and consulting to over one hundred state departments and we are adding more departments almost every week. We couldn’t have done this without our partners and the team at Acuity Technical Solutions.

Acuity Technical Solutions LLC had a very exciting year in 2022. Our IT Consulting Contracts won in previous years successfully continued forward into 2022. We won two new IT Consulting contracts at EDD and a very important high-end Project Managers at California Department of Technology. In addition, we were awarded a Senior Technical Engineering support contract at CA Department of Health Care Services which started in January 2022. Finally, we were awarded an IT Consulting contract at CA Department of Housing and Community Development. Acuity then is involved currently with eleven (11) IT Consulting contracts at the State which includes twenty-four (24) consultants currently working at seven different state departments.

Acuity was excited to have our current CMAS contract renewed through July 11, 2027. In addition, Acuity secured an award for the TDDC IT MSA Contract in April which is good for a three-year period with 2 likely two-year extensions. Acuity is proud to be a Tier 3 contract for the TDDC IT MSA contract which means Acuity can supply staffing for contracts up to 5 million dollars.

We are excited for what 2023 will bring in the area of IT Consulting. Acuity has set itself apart from other state certified small businesses in our successes with IT Consulting at the State including our CMAS and TDDC IT MSA contract awards and our current eleven IT Consulting projects at the state. Acuity welcomes departments to send IT Consulting RFOs and we are always open to speaking with IT Consultants who want to work for a firm like Acuity who treats our IT Consultants well and provides the support they need while on state IT projects.
