About this file
This document is a draft Excel spreadsheet detailing the Acquisition and Ordering Systems (AOS) for the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), listing 19 web-based applications and their technical specifications. The systems cover critical functions including contract lifecycle management, e-commerce, solicitation services, and customer support, with applications like GSA Advantage!, eOffer/eMod, Solicitation Writing System, and Online Contract Management System (OCMS). Each application is comprehensively documented with details on application type, interfaces, technical architecture, development methodology, hosting environment, and operational metrics such as sprint cadence, labor hours, and monthly incident volumes.
The accompanying federal contract opportunity is an advance notice for a Virtual Industry Day scheduled for January 29, 2026, focused on these Acquisition & Ordering Systems. The event is being organized by GSA Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS) on behalf of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), with interested industry partners instructed to contact the GSA AAS Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist for participation details. The spreadsheet provides an extensive technical inventory of the systems that will likely be discussed during this industry day, offering potential vendors deep insight into the current GSA digital infrastructure and potential modernization or support opportunities.

| Halley's | Contract Lifecycle Management Division | FAS Sales Reporting Portal (SRP) | The FAS SRP is the GSA’s web-based application that collects monthly and quarterly sales data and collects fee payments for GSA contract vehicles including Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts and Non-FSS Contracts (GWAC, MAC, PHSC, IDIQ, etc.) to support the General Service Administration Regulation (GSAR); Transactional Data Repository (TDR). |
Contractors can manage their sales data and fee payments. The GSA acquisition community can review Contractor compliance with respect to reporting and payment activity.
Collection of transactional data will enable GSA stakeholders to compare transactional data across GSA Contracts which will result in market-driven price reductions, increasing FAS SRP market shares and saving money for customer agencies, which ultimately benefits the taxpayer.

Each weekday night PICS sends EDD item data (prices, descriptions, etc) to the following systems: GSA Advantage, CSC, FSS-19 Procurements (PR) Module. PICS processes run after business hours in the UNIX environment of the Production server. These processes, which are launched automatically at regular intervals using the UNIX CRON feature, are responsible for receiving NSN item data from FSS-19 and transmission of EDD item data to the recipient systems. All PICS UNIX processes are initiated and controlled by UNIX shell scripts which in turn call other UNIX shell scripts, Java programs, and run database queries and stored procedures via ISQL. | Desktop Application | Agency-wide | No | No | Webservice, SFTP | Powerbuilder, Java, JBoss, Sybase ASE |

| (IDQBE) | Enterprise Content Management Solution (ECMS) | GSA’s Enterprise Content Management Solution (ECMS) has become the primary content repository for storage and retrieval of electronic documents. Originally developed in mid-2000 as a FAS collaboration solution primarily utilizing eRoom, a Documentum COTS content viewer. In 2009 FAS began a MAS contract digitization program to create one place where an acquisition professional can view a complete contract file and to move the organization to end-to-end electronic contracting. FAS developed a custom viewer for viewing contracts placed into ECMS by one of three methods: (1) scanning contract documents, (2) desktop drag and drop, and (3) through System of Record (SOR) integration. The integration with SORs through web services included FSS-19, eOffer, eMod, ORS, FMS, GSA Advantage!, eBuy, and eLibrary. | |||||||||||
| The ECMS program has grown significantly in the years from 2009 to 2013. ECMS now supports all MAS SORs, 11 regional offices, two shipping depots, the National Customer Service Center (NCSC), PBS acquisition offices in various regions and central office, and GSA Central Office offices of the Chief People Officer and Office of General Council. | Client/Server Application | Agency-wide | No | No | Web Services | Windows and Linux | 8 | 400 | 110 | ||||
