Google Benefits: SADA Systems Achieves GSA MAS Contract
July 10, 2011
“GSA Awards SADA Systems, Inc. with Multiple Award Schedule Contract for Google Apps Products and Services,” relates Red Orbit. It seems that Google is still a player in the U.S. government procurement derby.
SADA Systems provides Google Apps to public sector as well as private enterprise clients. The company started out in 2000 as a Google search technology partner, and went on to become one of the first ten Google Apps partners.
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) handles allocation of government contracts. That SADA Systems has passed their rigorous certification program testifies to the company’s strong performance.
Regarding the multiple award schedule contract (MAS), the article summarizes:
“This negotiated contract will allow federal, state, and local government agencies with access to the GSA Schedule Contract program to contract directly with SADA for a variety of Google Apps related products such as Google Apps, Postini, and related services.”
That will speed up procurement of SADA services by government agencies at all levels. Quite the coup. And, of course, having this framework in place makes reliance on Google Apps that much closer to automatic. Nice move for Google which suffered a rumor last week that it was excluded from some juicy General Services Administration contracts.
Go, go, Google.
