TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTS 

Acquisition Options for Your 

Specific Technology Requirements 

Acquiring technology is easy with GSA. You 

can use our Governmentwide Acquisition 

Contracts (GWACs), information technology 

(IT) Schedule 70, and the Network Services 

Program (NSP) contracts to gain fast access 

to cutting-edge IT, telecommunications and 

infrastructure products, services and 

integrated solutions. 

Our comprehensive set of pre-competed and 

customizable acquisition solutions supports 

your technology lifecycle needs – from 

management to execution – at competitive 

prices. 
Across government, IT, telecommunications and 

infrastructure are inseparable from agency mission 

requirements. Agencies also face constantly shifting 

priorities – ranging from cloud computing and infrastructure 

consolidation to cybersecurity and environmental 

sustainability. With tight budgets and a smaller workforce, 

finding the right solution to meet your IT needs as well as your 

telecommunications and infrastructure needs can be a 

significant burden. 

At GSA, we enable smart decisions when evaluating, 

purchasing and implementing t echnology – from navigating 

available commercial off erings to det ermining the most 

appropriate acquisition vehicle. Working with leading industry 

partners and your in-house contracting professionals, we 

maximize operational effectiveness and efficiency while 

minimizing acquisition risks. 

Follow Mandates and Policies 

Whenever your agency needs support addressing our nation’s 

priorities, GSA stands ready to work with you across a broad 

spectrum of IT initiatives while ensuring your compliance with 

federal mandates and policies. These initiatives include 

protection against cyberthreats, progress toward 

environmental sustainability, evolution to a more mobile 

workforce, support of small and veteran-owned businesses, 

and migration of your computing systems to the cloud. 

Meet Your Technology Needs 

With GSA, you have access to virtually anything technologyrelated to meet your mission requirements – such as 

infrastructure and applications, mobile management 

solutions, and professional IT services and communications 

services.
