The period of performance is a two-year base contract with three one-year options.

The 951-M “umbrella” contract provides on-site services including: printing and copying equipment, production equipment, personnel, scanning and digitization solutions and services, and other services as requested in task orders.

GSA – Information Technology (IT)

The GSA Information Technology (IT)  is a long-term contract issued by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to a commercial technology vendor. Award of a Schedule contract signifies that the GSA has determined that the vendor’s pricing is fair and reasonable and the vendor is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Purchasing from pre- approved vendors allows agencies to cut through red tape and receive goods and services faster. A vendor doesn’t need to win a GSA Schedule contract in order to do business with U.S. government agencies, but having a Schedule contract can cut down on administrative costs, both for the vendor and for the agency. Federal agencies typically submit requests to three vendors on a Schedule and choose the vendor that offers the best value.

Vendors must undergo a rigorous application process, including the negotiation of fair and reasonable prices, to win a GSA Schedule contract. Contracts can be renewed three times, which means the vendor could potentially have a 20-year contract.
