GSA Schedule Advantages
The ViStar GSA MOBIS (Management,
Organizational and Business Improvement Services) Schedule is a streamlined
procurement vehicle available to federal agencies and other organizations for
obtaining services and products from pre-qualified vendors. GSA has completed
the federally mandated contracting requirements competition, pricing, small
business and other contracting evaluations normally required prior to obtaining
services.
The ViStar GSA MOBIS Schedule provides a spectrum of services focused on improving the performance of federal agencies and other organizations. Services range from program and project management of complex projects to information systems program integration to strategic and business planning to quality management and business process improvement.
Using the GSA MOBIS
Schedule
GSA has improved efforts to make buying commercial services easier
for Federal customers by awarding GSA Schedule Contracts. Under the Federal
Supply Schedule Program, GSA enters into government-wide contracts with
commercial firms to provide products and services, at stated prices, for given
periods of time. This streamlined procurement vehicle significantly reduces the
time required to obtain services because GSA has reviewed vendors'
capabilities, negotiated rates, and pre-qualified vendors to provide services.
Federal agencies place orders directly with the schedule contractor, and
deliveries are made directly to the customer.
Advantages of using the GSA program schedule include:
- Dramatic reduction in lead time to obtain services (typically a few
weeks or less)
- Task Order awards are based on Best Value;
- CBD synopsis is NOT required
- Competitive requirements have been met
- Prices determined to be fair-and-reasonable
- All applicable laws and regulations have been
applied (including small business set-asides
- Can be used by all federal agencies and the
- No maximum order limitations
- Contractor/customer direct relationship - no transfer of funds to
GSA
- Blanket Purchase Agreements can be established to negotiate even
better pricing
- Use of contractor teams and subcontractors is encouraged
How to Use This Schedule
GSA's streamlined ordering procedures have reduced the tedious, time-consuming
government procurement process to a few simple steps. GSA has done this by
pre-qualifying vendors to perform a range of services. GSA has reviewed vendor
qualifications, capabilities and cost schedules in advance of the need for
services, and identified these vendors, by type of service, on this GSA
Advantage Web site (www.gsaadvantage.gov).
For ViStar, refer to Contract Number: GS-10F-0009P.
This approval is valid for all organizations in the federal government, and
other governmental agencies, and the entire process, from identifying the
Statement of Work (SOW) to having a contractor on board, can be completed in as
little as three weeks.
To initiate the process,
provide your contracts officer with a SOW. Your
contracts officer will issue your SOW to three approved GSA MOBIS vendors. You
and your contracts officer then review the vendors
responses, and select the "best value" contractor. A contract order
is issued directly to the selected contractor. GSA has put the process in
place, and will assist you, if needed, but does not get involved in your
procurement process.

PAST PERFORMANCE
ViStar has demonstrated its record of conforming to
contract requirements, adherence to schedules, and a history of customer satisfaction
in the following contracts.
ViStar has provided primary and direct support to:
Coalition Provisional Authority. ViStar currently provides
contractor support to the Consolidated Regional Authority Iraq (CPA) in
managing the flow of civilian personnel (government employees and contractors)
into and out of the theater to support its operation. ViStar
was selected by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to do this at the
inception of the CPA on the basis of its proven performance in managing
complex, sensitive, high level projects. In this effort, ViStar
works closely with senior officials in all government agencies involved in the
CPA, both here and in
Office of Homeland Defense. ViStar currently provides
contractor support to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland
Defense in the administration and management of the office and in proving
professional and analytical support to the office in fulfilling its mission. ViStar was selected as one of the first contractors to
support the organization and staffing of this office when it was established,
and has since assisted in the development, implementation, and evaluation of
its strategic plan. In this effort, ViStar
demonstrated its excellence in working in a complex environment requiring skill
and judgment in working with senior personnel in the Department of Homeland
Security, and other involved government agencies. ViStar
has a record of excellent performance and customer satisfaction, and has been
commended for its work.
President s Task Force to Improve Health Care
Delivery for Our Nation s Veterans (PTF). Earlier this year, ViStar completed
contractor support to the President s Task Force to Improve Health Care for Our
Nation s Veterans, an intense 18 month effort. ViStar
was contracted to provide professional, management, and technical support to
the PTF at its inception and assisted in the organization, staffing, and
operation of the PTF. In this effort, ViStar played a
central role in supporting the work of the PTF by providing principals in the
area of Information Management/Information Technology; Leadership and
Productivity; Benefits Services; Acquisition and Procurement; Pharmaceuticals;
Facilities; and Resource and Budgeting to assist the PTF in making
recommendations to the President. This involved the evaluation of the health
care delivery systems of the Department of Defense and the Department of
Veterans Affairs in their entirety to determine how they can be brought
together to operate more effectively and efficiently. ViStar
played a key role in assisting the PTF in preparing and issuing its report and
in supporting congressional hearings. ViStar was
commended for its work.
Secretary of Defense Panel to Review V-22 Osprey
Aircraft Program. In April 2001, ViStar completed contractor support to a high level panel
ordered by the Secretary of Defense to review the V-22 Osprey Aircraft Program,
an intense 4 month effort. ViStar was contracted to
provide professional, management, and technical support to the panel at its
inception, and assisted in the organization, staffing, and operation of the
panel. In this effort, ViStar assisted the panel in
its deliberations and review of training; engineering and design; production
and quality control; suitability to satisfy operational requirements; and
performance and safety of flight of the aircraft. ViStar
played a key role in assisting the panel in preparing and issuing its report
and supporting congressional hearings. The work of the Panel resulted in key
procurement decisions on the aircraft. ViStar was
commended for its work.
These
accomplishments reflect the excellent capabilities of ViStar
to fulfill its contractual obligations with impeccable commitment and
excellence. They reflect on the superior subject matter knowledge, experience,
leadership, and initiative of ViStar employees in
satisfying customer requirements. They also reflect the ability of ViStar to take on complex, high visibility projects over a

requirements.
The company has received
numerous written commendations for its performance on each of these efforts,
which involved the dedication, professionalism, and expertise of ViStar employees in the delivery of professional and
technical consultation services, program integration, project management
services, and facilitation services in a range of demanding settings.
