The Acquisition Services Directorate, Herndon (formerly GovWorks) would like to remind our clients that the end of Fiscal Year 2008 is
quickly approaching.
What does this mean to you as our valued client?
Effective June 1, 2008, requirements with typically long procurement lead times (i.e. complex services), taking approximately 120 to 180
days to award will only be accepted on a case-by-case basis if the Acquisition Services Directorate management agrees an award can be executed
by the end of the fiscal year.
Funding for new Services requirements and Simplified Acquisitions including product purchases using GSA Schedules and established sources,
may be accepted based on the timeline below:
July 1, 2008 Services - GSA Schedules/established sources (averaging 90 days to award)
August 15, 2008 All Other Simplified Acquisitions (averaging 45 days to award)
In addition, the Associate Director of the Acquisition Services Directorate made a business decision to adhere to "fiscal year boundaries" for all awards made on behalf of
clients seeking acquisition support from the Acquisition Services Directorate, Herndon office. All awards and modifications must be executed and entered into
our system prior to the end of the fiscal year. This decision aligns processes across the Acquisition Services Directorate regarding awards tied to fiscal year end.
Product Delivery Information for Civilian Agencies
Products ordered for civilian agencies in FY08 should be delivered by a contractor in accordance with standard commercial delivery times.
