How to use GITSS
Using GITSS is simple
Your IBM marketing representative or Team IBM partner can help you with defining your requirements and determining what your exact needs are. To use the GITSS contract vehicle, you'll need to fill out an Opportunity form (DOC, 72KB) and submit it to your IBM GITSS Program Manager, Barbara Tengs, e-mail: tengs@us.ibm.com.
You must also sign an Interagency Franchise Agreement form and submit that to the VA Program Office at info@buyit.gov.
How to do business with BuyIT.gov
- Using the BuyIT.gov contracting office
They will perform all of the expert acquisition support services you need; that is, "they do the contracting." they provide solicitation, award, and routine post-award procurement services to acquire the information technology goods and services you require to fulfill mission requirements.
- Ordering directly from GITSS contracts
If you prefer, BuyIT.gov can delegate authority to your agency's contracting activity to place task orders against the GITSS contracts. In other words, "you do the task order contracting."
Both methods require BuyIT.gov and the customer agency to sign an Inter/Intra Agency Cross-Servicing Support Agreement (VA Form 2269). This is a simple two-page agreement.
