NITAAC ramps up for more small business success

SP4 protest annoucement

NITAAC values transparency and wants to provide an update on the recent CIO-SP4 protests. As of January 17, 2023, two recent protests have been dismissed and one is pending. We are looking forward to a CIO-SP4 launch on or around March 15, 2023, and the expiration of all CIO-SP3 GWACs on April 29, 2023.

Small businesses play a vital role in federal acquisition. We value small businesses and they will be a key part of our new contracting vehicle.

NITAAC has obtained 801 certification

NITAAC has obtained 801 certification for fiscal year 2023. This certification will enable NITAAC to support Assisted Acquisition Services for the Department of Defense (DoD). Prior to this, the DoD could only make direct awards on NITAAC’s three Best in Class (BIC) Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts, and each purchase required a waiver. With this new 801 certification, that will no longer be the case.

All CIO-SP3 GWACs valid through 4/29/23 as we move towards a CIO-SP4 award on or about 3/15/23

NITAAC has extended the CIO-SP3 and CIO-SP3 Small Business GWACs through 4/29/23. This assures there is no break in service during the award of CIO-SP4, now expected on or around 3/15/23. This also ensures continuous coverage for NITAAC agency customers who use our contracting vehicles.

Global Supply Chain Issues

The IT Industry is experiencing shortages of microprocessors and key components of many types of IT equipment due to global supply chain issues.  This is causing delays for end items and the performance of some services and orders.  NITAAC urges customers to review their IT needs and anticipate slower than normal delivery and delayed performance of their requirements.  We suggest placing orders as soon as possible for mission-critical needs and expecting longer lead times for products and services.  NITAAC is working with our contract holders and original equipment manufacturers to resolve these issues to assist our government customers.  Please call NITAAC with any questions or problems.

Why NITAAC (IB)

Why NITAAC

Best in Class GWACs

Our Best in Class Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts give federal agencies a streamlined way to procure information technology commodities and services from industry leading providers.

Streamlined Procurements with built in FAR 16.5 Guidance

Our pre-competed contracts give Contracting Officers broad latitude to customize evaluation procedures based on the complexity of the procurement.

Reduce Administrative Time and Costs

With no need to synopsize requirements on SAM.gov (aka FedBizOpps) and the ability to manage the entire acquisition online, NITAAC lifts much of the reporting burden from customer agencies.

Dedicated Customer Service

NITAAC Support is staffed by live humans, and backed by a team of FAC-C Level III Digital Service Certified Contracting Officers. We answer questions within the hour, turn around assessments within 12 business hours, convert Technical Refreshment Proposals within 24 hours and average 45-day Procurement Action Lead Times (PALTs).

Complimentary Scope of Work Assessments

Enhance the quality of responses your agency receives with a well-written Statement of Work (SOW), Statement of Objectives (SOO) or Performance Work Statement (PWS). NITAAC will assess your package at no cost and alert you to suggested changes within 36 business hours.

Assisted Acquisitions Support

If you’re short on Contracting Officers for any reason, NITAAC can serve as your agency’s Contracting Officer for a small 2% fee.
