Virtual Industry Day - GSA Advantage Select Monitor BPA

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), National IT Commodity Program (NITCP) will host a virtual Industry Day on Thursday, July 16, 2015, at 1 pm EST via Adobe Connect (https://meet.gsa.gov/r1o9esy91sg/). This event will provide vendors the opportunity to learn about a new GSA innovative program called “Advantage Select”. Advantage Select will be advertised and implemented through the GSA Advantage program, with it's own specific landing page within the GSA Advantage web site. You can currently see banners on the GSA Advantage home page advertising this upcoming new feature . The concept behind Advantage Select is for GSA to do the heavy lifting/upfront work for our customers (i.e. competition) and award short term BPAs that can leverage the existing inventories of our Industry partners while taking advantage of possible tier pricing discounts. The concept originated from the "end cap" pricing discounts that you see the commercial industry often offer with high volume IT products. Vendors will be provided with a demo of the Advantage Select tool followed by a presentation on the forth coming Advantage Select Monitor BPA. Vendors are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback on Advantage Select and the BPA. Draft copies of the solicitation and Product Specifications will be provided via GSA’s NITCP Interact page This is a Virtual event so there is no cost to attend this event but pre-registration is required. This event is scheduled to last an hour so please arrive in the Adobe Connect meeting space early as we will start the event at 1 pm EST sharp.
