In June 2004,
the Small Business GWAC Center awarded an Information Technology
8(a) set-aside contract vehicle to replace the 8(a) FAST GWAC
that expired in October 2004. One of the major changes from 8(a)
FAST is an expansion from one functional area to eight based on
the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).
These functional areas include services such as computer
programming, computer facilities management, computer systems
design, data processing, and facilities-based
telecommunications. 8(a) STARS is a seven-year contract, with a
three-year base period and two, two-year option periods.
8(a) STARS
(Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services)
provides a full range of IT solutions—including application
development, computer facilities management services, and
information assurance—through small disadvantaged 8(a) firms.
As an 8(a)
set-aside, this contract vehicle provides small businesses
historically left out of the procurement process with a chance
to compete in the federal marketplace. GSA customers benefit by
having access to a portfolio of more than 400 award-winning
industry partners distributed across eight areas of expertise.
Federal agencies also receive 8(a) and other small business
credits toward their procurement preference goals through the
use of these contracts.
