Assisted Acquisition Services Region 9

General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Region 9 is the civilian contracting office responsible for providing assisted-acquisition support to federal agencies throughout its geographic region. As part of GSA's broader acquisition-support mission, the office executes contracts and provides procurement services on behalf of other federal customers rather than operating as a direct buying authority for its own programs.

The office has awarded 333 contracts cumulatively since 2005, with a combined potential value of $300.8 million and $184.2 million obligated to date. Recent activity has slowed considerably: the office closed two awards in 2019 and 2020, one in 2021, one in 2022, and two in 2023, with no recorded awards since October 2023. The portfolio spans 90 distinct prime contractors over its lifetime, indicating a highly fragmented competitive base. Over the last five years, the three most recent awardees—Ventech Inc. ($1.3 million combined potential value), Globafone Inc. ($93 thousand), and President and Fellows of Harvard College ($25 thousand)—represent the only recorded activity in that window, with Ventech holding the largest single contract by value.

The set-aside mix skews heavily toward unrestricted competition: 83 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Eight-point-A sole-source awards account for 14 percent of the portfolio, while total small-business awards represent 2 percent. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Competitive 8(a) activity each comprise a fraction of the mix.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against this office. The extended gap between the most recent award in October 2023 and the current date suggests limited active solicitation. Firms evaluating pursuit should verify current activity status directly with the office, as the portfolio data does not support an active contracting posture at this time.
