GSA to Provide Help Choosing Between Contracts
Technology specialists at the General Services Administration plan to roll out a Web-based tool to help government users navigate the increasingly dense forest of federal IT contracts.
This summer, GSA will formally unveil its IT Solutions Navigator Tool, said Kevin Richman, a communications specialist at GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service. The tool will help federal data center and technology managers winnow down their product and service choices in the growing forest of large federal IT contracts.
The Solutions Navigator Tool sorts the offerings into seven broad categories: cloud computing, communications, networking, data center, hardware, security, and software.
Richman, who was speaking May 14 at the FOSE conference in Washington, D.C., declined to provide a specific date for the tool’s official rollout but said it has been in beta testing since last fall and is nearing completion.
