Other Information:

From products, services, and technology to vehicles, travel, transportation, and property management solutions, GSA manages widely diverse offerings and many different methods for acquiring these offerings. GSA will need to provide efficient service delivery of overlapping product offerings and solutions, while continuing to promote competition, procurement integrity, and consistent pricing structures. We will assess the various financial models and determine which can best achieve full cost recovery for GSA, as well as ensure rigorous fiscal discipline. GSA will refine and better manage a balanced portfolio of acquisition solutions, including Multiple Award Schedules (MAS), Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), Strategic Sourcing, Alliant, Networx, and Assisted Acquisition Services. Multiple Award Schedule contracts, also referred to as GSA Schedule and Federal Supply Schedule contracts, are indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts that are available for use by Federal agencies worldwide. GWACs are task order or delivery order contracts for information technology established by one agency for governmentwide use. GSA offers multiple buying solutions so agencies can select the best option for their procurement needs. GSA will address diverse customer needs through more vigorous business case and business process improvement practices. Achieving financial health in all business models and programs is essential. GSA will be a leader in technology-related acquisition. One outstanding example is Alliant— GSA’s new Multiple Award/Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle for providing worldwide IT solutions to Federal agencies. Alliant represents the next generation of GWACs for GSA. Alliant offers the greatest flexibility possible for efficiently and effectively supporting Federal government daily operations. GSA’s Networx program is another future-looking technology that provides comprehensive, best-value telecommunications and networking services and technical solutions to all Federal agencies. More specifically, it supports a governmentwide Enterprise Architecture and provides cross-agency collaboration, transformation, and governmentwide technology improvement. Networx will maximize the use of government resources by providing a common procurement infrastructure and a performance-based approach to encompass commercial, technical, and interface standards. At the same time, Networx will require the most current technology to ensure a secure operating environment.
