Free technical reviews
We offer free technical reviews of draft requirements for agencies buying through SIN 54151HACS.
You can specify a subgroup or subgroups by inserting this language into your RFQ: “This Request for Quotation seeks contractors holding the Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services Special Item Number and the contractor must be categorized in the following HACS subgroup (or subgroups) [insert subgroup or subgroups].”
Use eLibrary’s HACS contractor page to filter vendors by set-aside; select your specified socio-economic designation (such as SBA Certified 8(a) Firm) and search. Specify set-asides and any other qualified requirements (like scope and mandatory knowledge) in the solicitation. Always check a contractor’s GSA price list to verify and confirm availability of awarded products and services; offerors are responsible for keeping their awarded subgroups up to date in eLibrary.
Sell through MAS
Current contract holders can submit a modification to add a SIN in the eOffer/eMod portal. If you’re new to MAS, follow the MAS Roadmap guidance for preparing and sending an offer.
All vendors must pass an oral-technical evaluation before they can be awarded the HACS SIN:
Evaluation questions are not provided before the evaluation. We recommend that you (the offeror) review the MAS Solicitation IT Category Attachment for details on the HACS oral-technical evaluation
When submitting your offer or mod, you’ll need to name up to five key personnel (and their roles in your company) to field questions during your evaluation. Consultants are not allowed to participate.
A GSA MAS Contracting Officer must request the oral-technical evaluations for SIN 54151HACS from the HACS Program Management Office. The HACS PMO will contact you to coordinate a date for the oral-technical evaluation once the request is received. GSA reserves the right to reschedule this date at the convenience of the Government; the offeror may also reschedule with reasonable notice.
You’ll be evaluated by our Technical Evaluation Board of GSA IT Specialists. Within two business days after the evaluation, the board will send their results to the GSA CO, and the CO will send results to the offeror within one week.
Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations,
unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where
lodging is obtained.
Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely
surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within
those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely
surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties,
including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties
(unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is
located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the
entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties,
even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
