About this IDV

The 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract is a $50 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle awarded to Fedwriters, Inc., a certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, on July 2, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2026. This competitive 8(a) set-aside GWAC, administered by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, enables federal agencies to procure a comprehensive range of professional and technical services from certified 8(a) small business contractors. Fedwriters specializes in technical writing, policy document drafting, training development, research assistance, communications support, Section 508 accessibility reviews, program analysis, speechwriting, and engineering/scientific research assistance across civilian and defense agencies. The GWAC framework allows the prime contractor to deliver mission-critical professional services to multiple federal agencies through task orders, providing flexible access to these services without requiring individual procurement actions.

Under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC, Fedwriters has been awarded four documented delivery orders totaling approximately $6.2 million from civilian agencies including the National Science Foundation's Directorate of Geosciences and Directorate for Education and Human Resources, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Energy. These delivery orders, spanning 2023 through 2025, cover website and digital support services ($2.51 million), communication support services ($1.17 million), Section 508 accessibility support services ($131,459.82), and technical writer/editor support ($2.37 million). The work is performed primarily at Fedwriters' Fairfax, Virginia headquarters and at agency locations including Washington, DC, Rockville, Maryland, and various National Science Foundation facilities. These delivery orders utilize labor-hour and firm-fixed-price pricing structures and demonstrate the GWAC's utility in enabling agencies to rapidly access specialized professional services for administrative, technical, and operational support functions.
