GSA has announced the availability of its Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) Dashboard, a new online tool designed to help agencies analyze spending, past GWAC performance and IT planning.
The dashboard aggregates non-classified data on federal IT purchasing activity from 2004 to present through GSA’s government-wide acquisition contracts, and is updated each day with public spending data displayed in a variety of ways including with graphs and charts.
"Over the past several years we’ve received feedback from our federal agency customers and our small business partners indicating that they need access to GSA’s GWAC task-order data," said GSA Federal Acquisition Service acting commissioner Mary Davie, adding, "This tool is especially valuable to small businesses as it provides access to business intelligence they can use to assess market opportunity, decide how best to allocate resources, and identify potential teaming partners for future projects."
In addition to data-driven IT planning and analysis, the dashboard also assists federal agencies in monitoring their use of GSA GWACs, responding to data calls, and preparing for executive briefings, GSA noted.
