FSS FAQ Highlight
What is a Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA)?

A Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) is a written agreement in which two or more Schedule contractors work together to meet an agency’s requirement.  A CTA can provide a total solution by combining the supplies and/or services from each team member’s separate Schedule contract.  Additionally, a CTA can:

  • Increase the contractors’ competitive edge;

  • Increase market share and visibility;

  • Integrate varied skill sets and obtain complementary capabilities thereby allowing contractors to focus on their core competencies and compete for orders for which they do not independently qualify;

  • Build direct relationships with customers; and

  • Share risks and rewards

Learn more about how to obtain and manage a CTA from GSA’s helpful FAQ page!  For other Schedule questions or additional information contact the VA FSS Help Desk at (p) (708) 786-7737 or (e) helpdesk.ammhinfss@va.gov.
