GSA has issued a notice to proceed on the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) unrestricted contract, making it available to agencies for customized training and development, human capital strategy and organizational performance improvement service needs.
The HCaTS solution, awarded in partnership with OPM, “is part of the strategic, government-wide movement to “buy-as-one” through an important first step in optimizing spending in the human capital category. HCaTS cuts costs and increases efficiency by providing federal agencies access to proven and high quality human capital and training contractors,” GSA said.
“Having HCaTS Unrestricted ready for business, means our federal partners get fast and flexible access to the human capital training and support services they need” and provides agencies “easy access to a reliable, flexible, and efficient means of improving human capital management in accordance with the Human Capital Assessment and Accountability Framework and OPM governing doctrines,” it said.
GSA is responsible for contract administration while OPM is responsible for program management.
