GSA, DIU working together to get non traditional contractors on board

The civilian and defense sides of the government have taken a big step together, to move the Defense Department’s innovative, non-traditional contractors to the mainstream of federal contracting. It takes the form of a deal between the Defense Innovation Unit and the General Services Administration. The GSA is in the midst of moving about a dozen such companies from DIU’s prototype roster to the GSA Multiple Award Schedules program. At the ACT-IAC emerging technology conference in Cambridge, Maryland, Federal News Network’s Tom Temin got the details from the GSA’s senior technology advisor, Sam Navarro.
