The General Services Administration is working with the Office of Management and Budget, NASA and the National Institutes of Health on transfer plans for several major governmentwide contracting vehicles through which more than $100 billion in spending on information technology services flows.
Management of NASA SEWP — the soon-to-be awarded sixth generation of which has a potential $60 billion value — would move under GSA, along with NIH governmentwide contracting vehicles CIO-SP3, CIO-CS and the as-of-yet unawarded $50 billion CIO-SP4, according to plans shared Tuesday in a workforce town hall with select GSA staff.
Per the plans, agencies have also been directed to create proposals for GSA to buy common goods and services — categorized in the Category Management framework — that GSA will review and confer with OMB on. Key considerations will include capacity, performance, success and savings.
