The Strategic Acquisition Service (SAS) takes advantage of all acquisition vehicles recognized by Federal Acquisition Regulations to meet a customer’s specific needs while seeking customer cost savings through maximum use of competition and other acquisition strategies. SAS provides negotiated contract and simplified acquisition services by trained and certified acquisition professionals. It also provides comprehensive acquisition support, from start to finish. SAS staff oversee the entire acquisition lifecycle, including initial strategic planning, soliciting and assessing offers, and negotiating, awarding, administering, and closing government contracts. SAS also takes advantage of strategic sourcing vehicles, including Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), General Services Administration (GSA) schedules, and local awards.
