Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) are pre-competed vehicles that enable any government agency to buy cost-effective, innovative solutions to meet information technology requirements. These vehicles are easy and fast for government to use, offering quick access to qualified IT service providers via streamlined contracting.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) Chief Information Officer- Commodities and Solutions (CIO-CS) GWAC was designed to cover everything IT related, including technology products and related engineering for solutions. This contact provides ease of use to government agencies, and delivers offerings where best available prices have already been negotiated. Offerings have also been engineered to be quickly delivered, and the contract vehicle itself was designed with speed in mind.
