Industry Based Interest GroupsVETS 2 GWAC Industry Group: Executive Order 13360 requires GSA to establish a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) for federal agencies to use to contract with SDVOSBs for information technology services and support. To help support the VETS GWAC, NVSBC established industry groups to work collaboratively with GSA to promote the use of the GWAC as well as the unique capabilities and capacities of the SDVOSB contract holders. The current industry group meets regularly with GSA to develop marketing plans and target specific agencies requiring IT services and support. The industry group members then reach out and meet with those agencies to explain the contract vehicle as well as the capabilities of the SDVOSB contract holders. VECTOR Industry Group: VECTOR is a VA specific multiple award contract reserved for SDVOSBs to provide management and technical services to VA customers. As a result of our success with the VETS GWAC Industry Group, NVSBC member firms holding the VECTOR contract work with VA personnel to educate VA personnel nation-wide on the contract vehicle and the capabilities of the SDVOSB contract holders. |
