GWACs, MACs, MASs, BPAs; are these ingredients for soup or federal procurement vehicles?
Government wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) for buying information technology products and services are one of the most misunderstood aspects of federal contracting. The approximately 20 GWACs (awarded and planned) are not described in any one place in the federal government. Information describing the purpose, scope, and awardees of the existing GWACs is spread throughout dozens of federal web sites, adding to the confusion surrounding this type of contracting vehicle.
This seminar is designed to answer the following questions.
- What is a GWAC and why do they exist?
- How do they differ from an information technology GSA schedule?
- What GWACs have been awarded and what new ones are planned?
- What is the significance of the planned Alliant Small Business GWAC to small to medium size IT companies?
- What is the future of GWACs?
- Are they just for the big integrators?
- How do GWACs impact small businesses?
- Can a small to medium sized IT company win one?
- How do we use the GWACs already awarded to sell?
This seminar will answer all of these questions and more. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of GWACs and what part they play in the federal sales process.
