No. Since 8(a) STARS is a Government Wide Acquisition Contract, or GWAC, it is authorized by the Clinger-Cohen Act to provide technology solutions to the federal government only. Special authority was granted to GSA to offer the IT Schedule 70 contracts to state and local governments to assist them in meeting their technology requirements.
