    I’m sorry, but is that a “B” as in Billion??!

    So, they receive orders against gov’t credit cards and accounts, and have a list of vendors who then ship to the purchasing unit? What value-added do they bring to the table in exchange for $10 Billion? Or am I, once again, missing the point?

      The alternative would be unit logisticians contacting manufacturers directly (which turns into a CF) or unit logisticians contacting a suite of vendors, some of whom rock and some of whom suck. Which turns into a CF.

      Slick sales guys selling units on a bunch of crap that will only slow them down (or worse, endanger their personnel) is bad thing. Little better than relying exclusively on type-classified NSN equipment that your Supply guy (or gal) can order.

      I’m the biggest sarcastic cynic out there, but someone may have gotten something right on this. My frame of reference is the Oceanside, CA branch, who did right by deploying elements in my command (not SOF, but not GP either) several times.

      Without looking at the award specifically, $10B is the cap of the IDIQ award, not a fee, or guarantee Sam, will do that amount of business. Whether value-added in all cases or not, it’s their ability to manage vendor relationship, baseline pricing, delivery, quality assurance, etc, etc. It doesn’t always work out in the ideal manner, but it allows for the purchasing officials to keep things simpler — the middleman does have it’s significant advantages as a cafeteria plan. If you have ever been on the wrong end of the KO’s people, you know how difficult it can be when all ducks are not in a row and things are not streamlined.

    Maybe this will get Quantico to actually sell anything worth a damn…before the skeptics jump in, there are exceptions…but few.

  4. Good things happen to good people !

    Congratulations.

    I wonder how much the DO they were awarded was versus the value of the IDIQ? There is no way that a small business was awarded a $10B sole source or full and open competition IDIQ.

    1 billion…yet 1% over current costs (24 mil doesn’t seem like a lot by comparison I can at least count that far in a life time) is too much for a camo that works…
