Contact Center Services

GSA's Office of Citizen Services offers a full range of contact center services, tools and applications for federal agencies who need to establish a new contact center or enhance their  current one.  Whether your need is for ongoing routine contact center services or for emergency situations where every minute counts in standing up a center, the Office of Citizen Services can help you meet your agency's contact center needs.

USA Contact

USA Contact, as a part of GSA's Office of Citizen Services, supports federal agencies' contact center needs by providing free and easy access to information and services and ensuring timely, consistent, and accurate responses to citizen inquiries. 

USA Contact was preceded by the FirstContact contract, the first multi-channel Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for contact center services. FirstContact was awarded in 2004 and remains in effect until mid-2009.

Check out the FOIA Reading Room to learn more about contact center vendors and the terms and conditions included in each IDIQ contract vehicle.
