Why should a federal agency consider using 8(a) STARS GWAC?

We recommend federal agencies regularly consider GWACs in their acquisition strategy for a variety of reasons such as limited protestability, pre-qualified pool of industry partners and acquiring the total solution under one vehicle. In addition, 8(a) STARS has the unique benefit of sole source orders up to the $3 million competitive threshold a benefit not found in any other contracting vehicle. This saves the customer a great deal of time and money by not having to use the open-market provisions for 8(a) contracting outlined in FAR Part 19.
