8(a) GWAC Up for Grabs The General Services Administration has released the final solicitation for the FAST2 governmentwide acquisition contract, a set-aside for 8(a) information technology firms. One of the major changes from the first 8(a) GWAC is an expansion of functional areas from one to eight. The proposed contract term is a three-year base with two, two-year option periods. “The original FAST contract was a great success for both our 8(a) vendor partners and GSA, and we look forward to providing more opportunities for 8(a) businesses under FAST2,” said Donna Bennett, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Supply Service. GSA said the original contract has drawn more than 11,500 orders worth $1.6 billion in the past six years. Solicitation number 6FG-03-RAV-0002 was posted on FedBizOpps Aug. 8. Responses are due Sept. 10.
