RFI ATTACHMENT H — USER STORY

“As the Solicitation Manager, I should be able to coordinate reviews and approvals of solicitation change packages within the tool so that changes to the IDV solicitation can be processed and incorporated into the solicitation and modified into impacted contracts.”

THE PORTFOLIO

Four portals. One platform.

The same solicitation-management platform powers a portal per IDV class. MAS leads the rollout because that is where Refresh 31 / Mass Mod A914 / A909 hit hardest in 2026, followed by GSA’s MAC/GWAC programs, then GSA’s Assisted Acquisition Service task orders, and finally the Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule — the only non-GSA agency-run schedule program in the federal landscape. Each portal inherits the same lifecycle, the same document engine, the same audit trail.

LIVE — REFRESH 31 / Mass Mod A914 + A909 READY

Multiple Award Schedule

Solicitation 47QSMD20R0001. All 12 Large Category Attachments. SIN catalog, FCP, TDR-aware pricing, OLM, FASt Lane eligibility. Refresh-cycle diffs, Mass Mod acceptance and exception tracking, SF 30 drafting against the master.

IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Multi-Agency and Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts

Designed for GSA’s Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts and Multi-Agency Contracts — Alliant 3, OASIS+, Polaris, 8(a) STARS III, VETS 2. Domain-qualification and technical-evaluation workflows on top of the same solicitation-management spine.

PLANNED — PHASE 2

Assisted Acquisition Service

Order-level acquisition support for the FAS Assisted Acquisition Service. Reuses MAS and MAC/GWAC workflows for task-order solicitation, evaluation, and administration on behalf of partner agencies.

PLANNED — PHASE 3

Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule

The only non-GSA agency-run schedule program in the federal landscape. Operated by the VA Office of Procurement, Acquisition & Logistics (Federal Supply Schedule Service / Strategic Acquisition Center), covering medical/healthcare and select non-medical commodities. Same lifecycle, same document engine, configured for VA’s clause libraries and approval routing.

CAPABILITIES

Built around the work, not around the org chart.

INTAKE

Change-request intake

Anyone in the workforce — CO, COR, Category Manager, FAS leadership — submits a solicitation change request directly to the Solicitation Management Office inside the tool. The SMO sees the request, the requestor, the rationale, and the impacted clauses or attachments. Routing is auditable. (RFI §2.4.4)

SOLICITATION

Solicitation creation and refresh

Side-by-side diffs across all 12 Large Category Attachments. Track every clause change from Refresh 30 through Refresh 31 / Mass Mod A914 (April 2, 2026) and the parallel TDR-mandatory Mass Mod A909 (April 10, 2026). Authoritative FAR and GSAM clause text sourced from GSA’s public DITA repositories — never modified, always version-stamped.

OFFER

Offer review and evaluation

Status dashboard across thousands of in-flight offers. Clarification threads anchored to the offer, the SIN, and the clause. Evaluation worksheets aligned to the Solicitation’s evaluation factors. AI-assisted gap detection — surfaced to the CO, never auto-decided. (RFI §2.4.4 + §2.5 Human Oversight Requirement.)

AWARD

Award and SF 30 / SF 1449

Generate compliant SF 30 amendments and SF 1449 awards anchored to the current GSAR Part 538, FAR Part 8, and active Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Class Deviations. Every clause cited carries a current FAC version stamp. Award packages compile to the Electronic Contract File automatically.

ADMINISTRATION

Modifications and contract administration

AWF-initiated and contractor-initiated modifications in one queue. Mass Mod acceptance tracking across thousands of contractors, filterable by Large Category, SIN, and clause. Exception requests carry justification text and contractor identity in one view. Full audit trail per contract.

CLOSEOUT

Closeout

Closeout checklist routed to the right roles. Final invoice reconciliation, deliverables verification, header close, archive policy enforcement. The contract file remains accessible for retention-period queries.

WHY NOW

Three forces converged on the acquisition workforce in 2026.

The MAS program changed under your office’s feet this month. Refresh 31 and Mass Mod A914 took effect April 2, 2026. The companion Mass Mod A909 made Transactional Data Reporting universal April 10. The Commercial Sales Practices format is being retired. The Price Reductions Clause is being eliminated for TDR vendors. The Most Favored Customer fields in the FAS Catalog Platform are obsolete for new offers. None of those changes happen in eOffer — they happen in the Contracting Officer’s queue.

GSA is consolidating Governmentwide IDV management. GSA OCAS is procuring a unified Procurement Automation Ecosystem covering the entire Governmentwide IDV lifecycle — MAS, VA FSS, GWACs, MACs — under a single platform. The Statement of Objectives names a single, centralized, modern solution for pre-award, award, and post-award. SolicitationDesk is being built to that exact shape.

The acquisition workforce is the bottleneck nobody is automating. Suppliers have eOffer. Buyers have GSA Advantage. The acquisition workforce — the COs, the SMOs, the CORs, the Category Managers — works across a patchwork of internal systems with no unified workload tracker. SolicitationDesk is the workforce-side console that the patchwork doesn’t add up to.

RFI ALIGNMENT

Aligned to the GSA OCAS Statement of Objectives.

The GSA OCAS RFI for the Procurement Automation Ecosystem Solution for Governmentwide IDVs (PDF dated January 17, 2026) names six categories of objectives in Section 2.4 and ten core functional requirements in Section 2.4.6. Below is how SolicitationDesk’s capability surface maps to each objective category. Every line is verifiable against the RFI text.

RFI §2.4 ObjectiveSolicitationDesk Capability
§2.4.1 Establish a Unified, Centralized, and Modern Solution for Governmentwide IDVsOne workspace per IDV class — MAS, MAC/GWAC, AAS, VA FSS — sharing one solicitation-management spine, one document engine, one audit trail.
§2.4.2 Ensure High-Quality Data, Transparency, and AnalyticsAuthoritative FAR/GSAM clause text from GSA’s DITA repositories, never modified. Structured solicitation data, clause-level versioning, and lifecycle status visibility for every action.
§2.4.3 Foster Enhanced Stakeholder Collaboration and CommunicationShared interface between the workforce and the supplier, with the same status, the same documents, and the same clarification thread.
§2.4.4 Streamline Acquisition Workflows and Process ManagementChange-request intake → SMO review → approval → publication → contract modification, all within the tool. Modeled on the user stories in RFI Attachment H.
§2.4.5 Provide Comprehensive User Guidance and SupportPlain-language guidance at every step. Templates, SOPs, and training paths inline with the work, not in a separate help portal.
§2.4.6 Deliver Core Governmentwide IDV Management CapabilitiesSolicitation creation and refresh, offer submission and review, award, modification, electronic contract file, closeout — across web, tablet, and mobile breakpoints, integrating with SAM.gov, USAspending.gov, the FAR API, the Acquisition Gateway, and FCS-managed services.
§2.5 Operating Constraints — Human Oversight RequirementEvery AI-assisted output is reviewable, editable, and tied to a session value before it reaches a contractor or a contract file. Automation accelerates the workforce; it does not replace the workforce’s judgment.

COMPLIANCE & TRUST

Built for federal trust requirements.

SolicitationDesk is being built to the security, accessibility, and operational standards expected of a federal acquisition platform. Specific certifications, audits, and authorization commitments will be published here once they are in place and confirmed by an independent assessor. SolicitationDesk handles solicitation drafting, clause management, and contractor correspondence — not Controlled Unclassified Information at this time. Any future CUI handling will be gated behind a separately authorized environment.
