RAPID ACQUISITION: STREAMLINING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Effective and efficient equipment procurement for an organization as large and complex as the U.S. military is notoriously difficult. Keeping the active duty and reserve military of over two million service members supplied is a challenge. The needs of the warfighter must be balanced with effective accounting methods, controlling cost, as well as mitigating fraud and waste.

As the #2 DLA Contractor, #28 GSA Contractor and #32 Federal Contractor, ADS helps you select quality, cost-effective equipment, guides you through our procurement options, develop custom kits and commits to on-time, on-target delivery.

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

GSA SCHEDULES

ADS holds multiple GSA contracts, offering 10,000+ products and professional services from more than 100 suppliers.

• Competitive, market-based pricing leverages the buying power of the federal government with the ability to negotiate further discounts at the order level
• Tailor orders to get what you need by customizing terms and conditions
• E-tools give quick and easy access to industry partners and help customers maximize competition—meeting their socioeconomic goals

GSA ADVANTAGE

GSA Advantage is the federal government’s premier online shopping superstore, giving federal agencies access to millions of pre-negotiated products and services.

• Pre-determined fair and reasonable pricing with quality assurance
• Shortened acquisition timeline when submitting purchase request to contracting office for products available on GSA schedule
• Research products and compare pricing online before purchasing when you use GSA advantage

Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)

BPAs establish a communication path between the customer, the contracting office and the potential vendor for future use. Once established, you can expect a rapid turn-around on delivery with no minimum purchase requirement.

• No minimum purchase
• No funding to initiate
• Quick turn-around

ULTIMATE FLEXBILITY

The FAR (13.303) establishes BPAs as a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services—so exact items, quantities and delivery requirements do not need to be known in advance.
