Executive Summary
Through three different solutions, MRAS utilizes the latest research techniques to helps customer agencies visualize the competition and socioeconomic responses that customers can expect if they use GSA’s acquisition vehicles.
What our customers are saying...
"Utilizing this resource is a great way to leverage the hard work put into establishing these contracts and provide a great benefit to the Government as a whole by simplifying the already complex process of federal acquisition. The benefit of conducting this market research gives a PCO the ability to see if there's a more expedient or cost-effective way to support their mission partner's needs. Often contracting is known as a slow and drawn-out process, and while it can be, this free tool is fast and gives a great snapshot as to what alternatives are available. MRAS is a great tool in a PCO's toolkit to have and one that should not be overlooked."
