GSA gets fiscal 2018 rolling with major procurement initiatives – FederalNewsRadio.com
The General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service is kicking off fiscal 2018 with a bang.
FAS released three requests for information and made a major governmentwide acquisition contract (GWAC) award in just the last week. And this is just the first few weeks of the fiscal year, while industry expects the fall and winter to remain busy.
Let’s start with the award, because that’s a sure thing.
GSA hired 70 small service-disabled, veteran-owned firms for the $5 billion Veterans Technology Services (VETS 2) GWAC.

Whitefish Energy | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
Last week, it was announced (or revealed) that a tiny company in Montana called Whitefish Energy Holdings had been awarded a $300 million contract from the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to restore electricity on the island. That massive size of the contract given the experience and size of Whitefish, has been met with skepticism by Republicans and Democrats alike and amid the outcry, PREPA is now moving to cancel the contract (after a plea from the Governor of Puerto Rico).
