Awarded in January 2003 CONNECTIONS is an eight year (three base years + five one-year options) governmentwide, multiple award, and indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract. It's a one-stop shop for any office building, campus, or base environment to deliver any level of demand for equipment (e.g., Routers, Switches), support services (e.g., Project Managers, Web Architects), or customized solutions (e.g., Systems Integration, Operations Support). More than half of the awardees are small business.

CONNECTIONS:

• Offers the flexibility to meet any solution at the best price - it extends the scope and scale of previous GSA contract offerings, giving customers a large range of products and services to choose from under one contract vehicle.
• Evolves with the changing marketplace - it streamlines processes and procedures to make sure that the latest technologies (i.e., products and services) are available for purchase.
• Defines a revolutionary way of doing business with GSA - it makes the procurement process simpler and easier than ever with its key innovations to the scope of offerings, ordering authority, and program oversight.
• Continues GSA's legacy of value-added customer support - with offices around the nation, it positions GSA to assist customers in a manner that is efficient, cost-effective, and worry-free.

CONNECTIONS fosters price reductions and quality offerings in a performance-based environment. When used in combination with GSA's local and long distance telecommunications contracts, customers can look to GSA as their true end-to-end solution provider.
