As the premier acquisition agency for the federal government, GSA offers several contracting programs to help agencies get what they need. As a potential contractor, you should familiarize yourself with the programs offered to ensure you provide the most appropriate contract vehicle based on the products and services you offer. Some programs may be more relevant or beneficial to your company than others, so be sure to research the options.
GSA occasionally offers new programs, so visit the GSA.gov webpage and our social media pages to stay informed. Below are a few (but certainly not all) of the other purchasing programs your company may wish to consider. Links to all solicitations are posted on the SAM.gov website.
Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs)
Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) enable federal agencies to buy cost-effective, innovative solutions for information technology (IT) requirements. GWACs provide access to IT solutions such as systems design, software engineering, information assurance, and enterprise architecture solutions. GWACs are pre-competed contracts offering a full range of contract types including fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, labor-hour, and time-and-materials, as allowed by each contract, to make agencies' procurement planning easier. Streamlined ordering procedures, as outlined in FAR 16.505, saves agencies time and money - orders can be issued in considerably less time than other types of procurements. Visit GSA.gov to see all of the active GWACs.
