Orlando-based Carter Solutions awarded GSA 8(a) STARS II GWAC
ORLANDO, Fla. — Carter Solutions, a client of the UCF Business Incubator in Central Florida Research Park, has been awarded the GSA 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (STARS II) Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). The STARS II GWAC provides federal agencies with ready access to sources of IT services as well as new technology solutions from award-winning 8(a) small businesses.
A Governmentwide Acquisition Contract, such as STARS II, is a pre-competed award made to multiple companies. It dramatically reduces the time, cost and barriers for federal agencies in securing bids for products and services and making purchases from a “pre-approved vendor” pool.
“We are thrilled to have been awarded the GSA 8(a) STARS II GWAC and we are even more excited to take full advantage of the abundance of opportunities that this contract provides,” said Tony Carter, President of Carter Solutions, a full-service IT services company focusing on ecommerce and web development.
Over 3,200 task order awards and $5.3 billion in sales have been transacted under the 8(a) STARS II GWAC since 2011, thereby making it a great source of opportunity for small businesses.
The 8(a) STARS II has a $10 billion program ceiling and offers fixed price, time and materials, and more, providing flexibility in gaining IT service solutions. The contract also allows for sole source purchases up to $4 million each.
