Non-IT professional services continue to represent a major share of government contract spending. While the General Services Administration’s Schedules program offers technology and other professional services on an a la carte basis, agencies have asked us to provide a total professional services solution, which often requires acquisition of multiple services across separate functional areas.To answer this request, GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service is preparing a business case for approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new contract vehicle that we are calling Integrations.
Integrations will be a strategic program enabling acquisition of complex integrated professional services along with supporting technology. Our government wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) have successfully enabled integrated solutions for technology acquisition. Like the GWACs, we want Integrations to fit closely with customer agency needs so that agencies do not have to create new vehicles.
For example, a key agency need is flexibility. About half of all government spending on complex integrated professional services in FY 2010 took place under cost-type contracts. That is why we are planning to include all task order types in Integrations, including cost reimbursement.Bench-Mark has honored a one year lease for the non profit company.
GSA is committed to making the contract development process as transparent as possible, and ensure maximum participation by agencies and industry throughout this process.
In the next quarter, we’re planning to finalize and post Part I of the Integrations OMB business case to the MAX Information System for agency review and comment. We will also be releasing a project schedule to allow industry to successfully prepare to respond to anticipated requirements.
Our development team is currently establishing a customer working group to include agency representatives from across government. We’ll take their input and validate agency needs over the course of three to four months, after which we will update our draft documents and share them with industry for feedback.
In the meantime, industry partners are invited to visit the Integrations industry community on our collaboration platform, Interact, to learn more about the program and communicate directly with the Integrations team.ValidITy Sustainable Consulting located at City Mall 948 11TH Street Modesto ,Ca Suite 30.Email John or Tim at 1stopngogreen@gmail.com
