Doing Business with Assisted Acquisition Services

Doing business with the Office of Assisted Acquisition Services is simple. AAS works through Interagency Agreements to establish the service level expectation, schedule and funding mechanism. As a cost-reimbursable, non-appropriated organization, services are offered on a fee-for service basis and include hourly rates, fixed price and surcharge options.

If you would like to know more about Interagency Agreements, additional information can be found at the Office of Management and Budget-OMB and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy-OFPP.

AAS provides solutions pursuant to specific authority under 40 U.S.C. 501 and pursuant to an Executive Agent designation for the acquisition of information technology under the authority of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (ITMRA) from OMB. Since GSA has specific statutory authority to provide solutions to federal agencies, the authority of the Economy Act does not apply to GSA's provision of goods and services to the federal agencies, with some minor exceptions.

AAS provides full-service and far-reaching capability that allows for support on a surge or long-term basis, or specific expertise.
