GSA Schedules Small Business Utilization

Thursday, August 7, 2014 1:00 p.m. EDT – 2:15 p.m. EDT

Open to all. Learn how to achieve your socioeconomic goals with the GSA Schedules program. And learn how the FAR was changed to provide agencies with discretionary authority to set aside orders against multiple award contracts for small business.

GWAC Overview (DPA Training)

Wednesday, August 13, 2014 1:00 p.m. EDT – 3:00 p.m. EDT

Open to all, but geared to Government Contracting Officers (COs). Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) enable federal agencies to buy cost-effective, innovative solutions for information technology (IT) requirements. Because most, if not all, government agencies have a need to buy IT services and solutions, GSA has made this purchasing convenient through its GWAC Programs. In this continuous learning module, you will learn about the four GWAC programs offered through GSA: 8(a) STARS II, VETS, Alliant, and Alliant Small Business. Training also prepares warranted contracting officers to request and be granted a Delegation of Procurement Authority to use the GSA GWACs.

The Contractor Teaming Arrangements Tool (CTAT) will be re-launched later this year. Changes include new functionality and a streamlined interface. The message board is a source/tool for helping contractors form teaming arrangements. Contractors/Vendors can search for teaming opportunities or post their own requirements. If you are an interested in being involved in the site relaunch contact the Office of Acquisition Management at amsystemssupport@gsa.gov.

Subcontract Reports (SSRs) 

Companies having one or more contracts with the GSA containing a Company-Wide Subcontracting Plan for commercial products or an Individual Subcontracting Plan must submit reports on goal achievement. In accordance with FAR 52.219-9, each plan requires submission of an annual "Summary Subcontract Report" (SSR) into the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) by October 30. To access the eSRS, visit www.esrs.gov.
