The BITS II contract is a follow-on to the original FAA Broad Information Technology Services (BITS) contract, initiated in 1998 through contracts awarded to Small, 8(a), Women-Owned, and Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Businesses to provide comprehensive IT technical support services to government agencies. BITS II contains expanded requirements for information technology support services, telecommunications support services, and systems engineering. The BITS II contract is the Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) of choice because it expedites the procurement process, facilitates entering into a long-term contract for IT support services, and enables procuring agencies to maintain administrative control over their work programs.
