Acquisition Framework & Lifecycle Management
Policy & Planning
GCS assists customers in
creating the most appropriate framework for
their specific acquisition needs by providing policy research, legislative
trend analysis and recommendation, expert advice on acquisition policy
and procedures, user community needs assessments, policy curriculum development,
and training delivery.
Requirements Analysis
The key to ensuring
an effective acquisition is the development of realistic, achievable requirements
that reflect a deep understanding of the user community and its overarching
mission. GCS assists customers in the preparation of Statements of Work/Statements
of Objectives and other requirements documentation by helping program offices
in drafting specifications and requirements, overall coordination of the
requirements process, and/or focused consultation during critical steps in
this process.
Source Selection Management
Whether
assisting in the preparation of a major competitive solicitation or supporting
the contracting officers and program offices in an informal vendor screening,
GCS is the Federal government’s choice for the
myriad of activities that comprise this vital function. Our services
include market research/surveys to identify and document potential sources
including consideration for agencies socio-economic goals, as well as
the professional and administrative support to develop briefings, draft
technical evaluation plans, consolidate and document source selection
evaluation and the associated decisions.
Risk Management
It is imperative
for acquisition and program offices to understand, plan for and mitigate
the risks that are inherent in the Federal procurement marketplace.
GCS professionals assist customers in the planning stages to ensure
risk areas are identified; assist in the monitoring of contract activities
for early detection of problems, and on those occasions where a contractor
is no longer serving the needs of an agency, GCS staff assists by providing
termination assistance services.
