The GSA also offers training and customer service to help you with contracting rules and regulations.
Numerous information technology and related services are available to you via our 8a STARS II contract. You can also buy hardware, software and related supplies as part of an integrated solution.
GSA will review your task order or modification requirements for free to make sure the scope of your task order is compatible with the scope of the contract — we call this a scope compatibility review, and it takes approximately two to five business days for GSA to complete.
Agencies receive 8(a) credit by conducting a task order size re-representation. Ordering contracting officers can conduct a task order size re-representation as a condition of new task order awards, if you think it is in your agency’s best interest. Please contact the 8(a) STARS II team if you need assistance to conduct a task order size re-representation. After you have made the award, you claim socioeconomic credit by reporting contract actions in the Federal Procurement Database System (FPDS).
