OASIS Interact Community

Many of you know that GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service began an internal business case to determine the viability of a new hybrid acquisition vehicle for complex integrated professional services with an  IT component.  I am pleased to report that the internal business case is complete and its findings are being discussed and coordinated with the various interested parties within FAS.  This initiative has been referred to as “Integrations” for quite some time.  However, we feel that there is a name more representative of the true value such a vehicle will bring to the Federal government. 

"Fusion” was suggested as an alternative tag.  I believe there are other ideas out there and that industry can help!  For example, when FAS launched the Financial and Business Solutions Schedule, it was industry that came up with the name and suggested it to GSA.   So, I know there are lots of creative industry partners with tons of great ideas who can help GSA with this task.  I would love to hear your thoughts.  In particular, I am looking for a name that:

• Has branding potential;
• May contain a meaningful acronym; and
• Differentiates the program in three words or less.

Feel free to post your ideas here, or if you prefer anonymity, you may submit your suggestions to ciad.innovation@gsa.gov.

Keep coming back to this site, and I'll keep you up to date with our progress. 

Highest regards, 

Lisa Maguire, Integrations Program Executive
