AOCE has numerous established contracts, schedules, and BPAs. Since most contracts are agency and product/service specific, we will not cover them here. However, a brief description of GSA schedules, BPAs, and ID/IQ contracts is shown below.
AOCE is one of a select group of pre-approved government suppliers through establishment of General Services Administration (GSA) contract schedules. We continue to support direct contracts, purchase orders, and the use of the Government Purchase Card for micro-purchases. GSA contract schedules provide federal government agencies access to established products and to professional services using predefined labor categories. This means that our products and services have been reviewed and determined to be of the highest quality and best value for government customers. It also means GSA has reviewed the qualifications of contractors based on performance and has determined that the rates are fair and reasonable. These contracts generally provide a broader array of services than their agency ID/IQ counterparts and many have no counterparts. They are open to all federal agencies and streamline the ordering process to reduce the time from initial contact to commencement of work.
