We’re a little more than halfway through the GSA eBuy Pilot - a great time for an update. As you’re probably aware, this is a year long testing of the benefits of additional transparency for GSA funded procurements, specifically government-wide IDIQ contract vehicles. Normally, IDIQ opportunities are only visible to those contractors eligible to compete for orders - not the general public.

Tim KievitAs you may know, every year GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) coordinates a large survey of customers for 15-18 different programs, including GSA Global Supply. The surveys are mailed to thousands of customers and weekly reminders are sent to encourage recipients to take a few minutes to give us feedback on a given program. (Contact lists are merged and purged so that nobody receives more than one survey.)

Tim KievitIn July 2015 we witnessed a human tragedy in Chattanooga, Tennessee when a shooting incident that began at a military recruiting office ended at a nearby U.S. Naval Reserve facility. Four U.S. Marines died that day and several other people were wounded before the shooter was killed. In the aftermath, the Navy revisited its policy on weapons and storage at Naval Recruiting offices around the country.
