The A2 contract is a follow-on to the $50 billion Alliant GWAC that expires in April 2019.
After almost nine months of no news, GSA asked vendors bidding on the Alliant 2 GWAC to guarantee their bids through Dec. 31.
Fixed price contracts don't always have to go to the lowest bidder, not if a higher priced bidder offers more value. That's the gist of a landmark decision from the Government Accountability Office. It ruled against protesters of the Alliant 2 governmentwide acquisition contract the General Services Administration is trying to establish. Procurement attorney Joseph Petrillo of Petrillo and Powell joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin to explain the decision.
Vendors who won a spot on the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTs) contracts received the notice to proceed, but the Alliant 2 solicitation faces another protest.
Enterprise Information Services submitted a complaint to the Government Accountability Office on Aug. 10 on the unrestricted version of Alliant 2.
Government contractors and GAO are likely to be busy this summer responding to several billion-dollar solicitations for IT services and dealing with the corresponding protests from the losing bidders.
