Assisted Acquisition Services Region 5

The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Region 5 is a civilian sub-agency within GSA that manages acquisition assistance and contracting services on behalf of federal customers across its region.

Region 5 has awarded 93 federal contracts since 1989, with activity declining sharply in recent years—14 awards in 2018, 5 in 2019, 6 in 2020, 3 in 2021, and 2 in 2022. The most recent recorded award closed on August 9, 2022. Combined contract potential value stands at $67.1 million, with $38.8 million obligated as of the last portfolio update. Half of the 2 awards in the last five years carried no reported potential value, characteristic of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications typical in GSA's assisted-acquisition model.

Competitive concentration among recent awardees is highly fragmented. Tactis, LLC holds 2 of 2 recorded awards in the five-year window (100% by count coverage), though its combined potential value of $282 thousand represents 0% of the portfolio's combined potential value, indicating most recent awards were below-threshold or value-unreported vehicles. Across the 93 contracts in portfolio history, 39 distinct prime contractors have been awarded, suggesting a long tail of small transactions rather than repeated vendor relationships.

The award mix reflects GSA's broad-based acquisition-support role: 90 percent of contracts use no set-aside designation, while 3 percent are 8(a) sole-source awards, 3 percent fall under Total Small Business set-asides, 2 percent are HUBZone, and 1 percent is Competitive 8(a). The portfolio shows no recent contract opportunities recorded, and the four-year gap since the last award suggests the office may be inactive or operating through vehicles not separately tracked in federal award rollups. Business development professionals should confirm current procurement status and contracting mechanisms with Region 5 directly before pursuing acquisition opportunities.
