Assisted Acquisition Services Region 7

The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Region 7 is a civilian contracting office that sources and procures supplies and equipment for federal customers through simplified acquisition and direct-demand contracting mechanisms.

The office has awarded 228 federal contracts cumulatively since 2009, with a combined potential value of $32.9 million and $30 million obligated (91% of potential value). Activity has declined significantly in recent years: the office issued 3 awards in 2018, then 1 award each in 2019, 2020, and 2021, and most recently 1 award in 2024. The portfolio includes 30 distinct prime contractors. Set-asides are minimal — 94 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with the remaining 6 percent split as 8(a) sole-source awards. Platinum Business Services, LLC is the only prime with recent activity over the last five years, holding 1 award valued at $2.5 million.

Current contracting activity focuses on direct-demand supply procurement through simplified acquisition and brand-name-only (BNO) requests for quote. Recent opportunities include RFQ 47QSSC-26-Q-0298 for Leupold MX-6HD scopes (due October 1, 2026), RFQ 47QSSC-27-Q-0005 for RollAstep MP72 platforms and compatible components set aside for total small business (due September 29, 2026), RFQ 47QSSC-27-Q-0004 for six 20-foot MilSpec CONNEX storage containers set aside for total small business (due October 2, 2026), and RFQ 47QSSC-26-Q-0131-1 for an FCX Systems frequency converter with no set-aside (due September 30, 2026). Most opportunities target small business concerns and require vendors to register with the OMS Vendor Portal or EDI for electronic order receipt. Pre-solicitation notices include market research for 20-foot MilSpec CONNEX storage containers with interior cabinet systems (due September 18, 2026). Completed RFQs and signed MIL STD 129R documentation are mandatory for award consideration.

The contracting office's award volume and dollar value have contracted sharply in recent years, making this a watch-rather-than-pursue environment for firms not already positioned on the vendor roster. Repeat small-business set-asides across recent opportunities signal openness to smaller concerns capable of meeting brand-name and QPL requirements, but the overall volume and velocity do not support heavy BD investment at this time.
