GSA FEDSIM ASTRO Program

Hello ASTRO Community!

We have asked and continue to ask for project submissions from Industry to check for scoring validation and Pool applicability.  For those of you who have taken advantage of this already, please accept a genuine “thank you” from the ASTRO Team!  We’ve already discovered a number of issues that seem to be confusing people and we will be addressing those things in a series of upcoming blogs designed to clarify certain aspects of the ASTRO draft solicitation. 

Please note that everything associated with this procurement is still in draft form and subject to change.  Any opinion or interpretation we provide prior to the issuance of the formal solicitation has no bearing on actual evaluations.  These project submissions are a form of market research and a mutually-beneficial courtesy between Industry and Government.

In order to allow us to process the submissions efficiently and quickly, we request that submissions to include:

1.  The template attached to this posting.  Please do NOT change the basic template elements.  We should be able to clearly see the Pool being claimed, a location for where the documentation demonstrates a relation to a platform, and what scoring elements are being claimed for each project for each Pool.
2. Documentation that has been highlighted and includes comments indicating pool, platform relation, and/or scoring element.
3. Send the template and the documents to astro@gsa.gov via email.

We greatly look forward to seeing your submissions.  We usually provide the findings to your company via email within a few working days and then set up a teleconference if you have any questions regarding the findings.

Please have a great ASTRO Day!!!
