The IT Schedule 7, NASA SEWP and NIH NITAAC were named by the Office of Management and Budget as best-in-class contracting vehicles for laptops and desktops.\u00a0And, as of FY16, 10,000 users have utilized the Acquisition Gateway category management information portal.<\/span><span class=\"inbox-inbox-apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Multiple Award Schedule Transformation Initiative was also &#8220;on the front burner in 2016&#8221; to provide a streamlined, value-based contracting solution, said Sharpe. In addition, the Formatted Product Tool was launched to standardize data and improve competitive pricing, and FAS published the Transactional Data Reporting rule\u00a0\u2014\u00a0being rolled out in a pilot program to select Multiple Award Schedule products and services \u2014\u00a0to provide transparency into the federal marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional rules and Special Item Numbers have been introduced to increase flexibility for meeting customer and industry partner needs, mitigate legal risk, and allow for review and comment of policy changes, added Sharpe. And in April, FAS launched the Making It Easier initiative to tackle challenges that startups, small businesses and other government suppliers face when seeking to do business with the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Sharpe made note of FAS external and internal success metrics for 2016, citing a 6 percent increase in product and utilization rate across the FAS portfolio, a Customer Loyalty Survey result that jumped from 7.1 to 7.5 and employee engagement and satisfaction ratings near 76 percent, up 6 percent from fiscal 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharpe concludes by saying that a direction for the next three years is being charted.
