A&T Systems, Inc. has been selected as one of the Electronic Commodity Store III (ECS III) Prime Contractors by the NIH. The ECS contracts have historically been one of the most successful GWACs available. The latest in the ECS series is projected to generate revenues in excess of $5.5B over the next ten years. Of particular interest is the fact that A&T's proposal was evaluated as number one of all proposals submitted by small businesses and number six overall.
ECS III represents an exciting contract vehicle that will allow federal customers to procure the products and related services they want, when they want them, without the need for dealing with traditional procurement delays. The NIH contracting office (NITAAC) has streamlined the process to more closely resemble the commercial marketplace, offering procurement assistance, expedited processing and competitive fees.
