GSA AdvantageSelect establishes FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation)-compliant, pre-competed, short-term, contractual agreements for acquiring recurring, high-volume, commodity requirements. These are designed to enable more competition on the most commonly purchased commodity items, then showcasing and providing transparency of these products and pricing to the entire government acquisition enterprise for the ultimate experience in low cost, streamlined purchasing.
Using GSA AdvantageSelect, government buyers can order directly from the contractual agreements without having to perform any further competition, thus minimizing contracting costs, streamlining the ordering process, meeting sustainable acquisition and socio-economic goals and consolidating Government buying initiatives.
