Value to the Customer
• Speed and Cost - GWACs save you time and money because the contracts are fully competed – projects become task orders issued against an existing GWAC contract. This greatly reduces procurement lead time and the amount of resources required to conduct a procurement compared to conventional contracting methods.
• Flexibility – Agencies and Departments can use their own contracting personnel to issue GWAC orders, or use GSA's Assisted Services Division to place orders on their behalf.
• Wide Range of Contract Types – GWACs provide a full range contract types, i.e., fixed price, cost reimbursement, time and material, and labor hour (contract type availability varies by contract).
• Worldwide Geographic Coverage - GWACs may be utilized for solutions needed anywhere in the world.
• Highly Qualified Industry Partners – GWACs provide access to a premier industry partner pool which has undergone a stringent selection process. GSA GWAC industry partners offer innovative technology solutions and expertise on federal agency requirements.
• Socioeconomic Credit – The Small Business GWACs can provide agencies with access to qualified small businesses and associated socioeconomic credit.
• Limited Protestability – Protests are not allowed on task orders under $10 million except on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period of performance or maximum value of the GWAC.
