​

Why did GSA align the scope of the Alliant contracts with the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA)/Department of Defense Enterprise Architecture (DoDEA)?

​

Because we wanted to provide the most comprehensive and flexible IT contracts possible. The FEA alignment will facilitate agencies’ efforts to migrate toward a more unified Government-wide IT infrastructure, by standardizing technologies and systems that support mission needs. By aligning with FEA, the Alliant contracts:

​

• Use a common language to define IT investments

• Evolve over time as technology develops and expands

• Adhere to a modeled approach (eliminating the need to “list everything possible”)

• Assist customers in responding to OMB mandates for tracking and reporting IT investments

• Promote sharing, consolidation, and reuse of business processes and systems
  
  

What can be purchased using the Alliant contracts?

​

The Alliant contracts are for IT services and IT services-based solutions. Ordering Contracting Officers may include ancillary services and equipment on orders as long as the ancillary support is integral and necessary for the IT services-based solution.

​

Are there functional areas within Alliant?

​

No, Alliant does not artificially constrain or partition the components of an IT solution. There are active inclusions of certain technologies and services, but these areas are not limitations; they are examples.

​

What is the value proposition for using Alliant?

​

The Alliant contracts offer a high level of flexibility and streamlined efficiency. By incorporating innovative concepts, customers are assured of optimal mission support throughout the life of the Alliant contracts. Just a few of the highlights include:

​

• Robust scope aligned with the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and Department of Defense Enterprise Architecture (DoDEA) that provides access to a full range of comprehensive IT services and IT services-based solutions

• Contract flexibility as emerging technologies and the definition of IT evolve

• A highly qualified pool of contractors, including NCI

• A full spectrum of contract types, including fixed-price, cost, and level of effort Variants

• Worldwide coverage

• Ease of use
  
  

How does a federal agency access the Alliant contract?

​

Federal buyers who wish to use the Alliant contracts must receive delegation of procurement authority from GSA before to issuing task orders. Information on how to obtain this delegation is available on the Alliant Overview page (www.gsa.gov/alliant).

​

Can a Contracting Officer limit competition of task orders to a set number of prime contractors?

​

No. All contract holders must be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for all orders in accordance with FAR 16.505 unless an exception to fair opportunity in FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)-(iv) applies. Exceptions must be documented in the file.
