General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 70 Forum
Overview
On September 14, 2010, the State Chief Information Officer and the State Chief Procurement Officer hosted a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Schedule 70 Forum.
Forum
The GSA Schedule 70 contains a list of vendors who offer information technology (IT) products and services through a cooperative purchasing agreement that state and local governments may use.
The purpose of the forum was to provide agencies with an overview of:
The State of Oregon’s legal and contracting rules that determine when and how state agencies may use the GSA Schedule 70 cooperative purchasing agreement.
Information from GSA representatives on the program’s general provisions and a demonstration of the tools used and the processes to follow when accessing the IT vendors for products and services.
Strategies for choosing vendors and negotiating prices from the Schedule 70.
An overview of other GSA schedules that state and local government law enforcement and emergency management agencies may access.
