Summary
GWACs: Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts for IT Navigate major IT contract vehicles like SEWP, Alliant, and OASIS.
The requiring agency works with their contracting office to define the scope, develop a performance work statement or statement of work, establish evaluation criteria, and determine the appropriate task order type. Requirements must fall within the GWAC scope and IT definition.
The GWAC holder receives notification of the task order competition through the contract vehicle's ordering portal. The agency must provide fair opportunity to all GWAC holders unless an exception applies, such as sole source justification for orders under certain thresholds.
GWAC holders interested in the work prepare and submit proposals according to the instructions provided. Task order proposals are typically shorter than full competition proposals but must still demonstrate technical capability and provide pricing.
The agency evaluates proposals against stated criteria and selects the contractor offering the best value. Evaluation may consider technical approach, past performance, price, and other factors specified in the request.
The winning contractor receives a task order under the GWAC and begins performance according to the terms established. The GWAC prime contract governs overall terms while the task order specifies the particular work scope and deliverables.
