GSA’s website is full of information about the contract award process, but interviews with vendors tell us many find the Federal Acquisition Service’s (FAS) pages jargon-heavy and hard to navigate, with information not appearing where it would be most useful. Many also say they find the process of getting on the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) very confusing. This is an obvious barrier for new companies trying to do business with the government, and seems to be hitting small and innovative ones especially hard.

Calling all Agile vendors...get ready!

By the end of this month, GSA will be releasing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the alpha version of the Agile Delivery Services Blanket Purchase Agreement. The RFQ will be posted on GSA eBuy.
