About this IDV
The 8(a) STARS III (8(a) Schedules That Aggregate Reserves for Small Businesses) Government Wide Acquisition Contract is a multiple-award GWAC issued by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service on February 23, 2022, with a ceiling value of $50 billion and an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2026. This contract vehicle represents a competitive 8(a) set-aside designed to provide federal agencies with access to a diverse pool of small business contractors certified under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program. The prime contractor, Tachys Inc. (UEI: QLKFDA6PMKQ2), was selected as one of multiple awardees under this vehicle. At the time of award, Tachys Inc. held active SBA certification as an 8(a) Program Participant, though this certification was scheduled to expire on February 11, 2023. The contract originated from a pre-solicitation opportunity posted on June 22, 2020, with the formal award documented on July 2, 2021, preceding the ultimate contract vehicle award by several months.
The 8(a) STARS III GWAC provides federal agencies with comprehensive access to a broad spectrum of goods and services through a streamlined acquisition mechanism that incorporates GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-16. As a governmentwide acquisition contract, this vehicle enables federal agencies across all departments and independent agencies to place task orders or call orders against the established contract terms and pricing. The multiple-award structure allows agencies to leverage competition among the awardees while maintaining the benefits of the 8(a) program's small business preferences. The $50 billion ceiling reflects the potential scope of this vehicle to support federal government procurement needs, though the specific products and services available are typically detailed in the contract's base document and corresponding task order descriptions, which define the actual deliverables and performance requirements for individual agency procurements issued under this GWAC.
