With 8(a) STARS II reaching its contract ceiling, many agencies that relied on the 8(a) STARS II GWAC, must now begin the process of seeking alternative GWACs to meet their socioeconomic requirements. 

Every Federal agency with procurement authority is responsible for contributing towards meeting the Federal government-wide small business procurement goals. Each agency must provide the maximum practicable opportunity to small businesses to win awards and must work to improve its procurement processes to meet the goals. The inability to use 8(a) STARS II, may leave many agencies wondering how they can still meet their socioeconomic goals.

The answer is simple—NITAAC.  With its $20 billion ceiling, the NITAAC Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners 3 (CIO-SP3) Small Business GWAC is accepting task orders and available to assist federal agencies in meeting their socioeconomic goals.
