Consortium Helps Small Businesses Win Federal IT Contracts
CDW Government, Inc., has added six new companies to its Small Business Partner Consortium and exercised the one-year contract options of nine companies that are currently members. The 15 federal consortium members may issue purchase orders to CDW-G to fulfill the requirements of federal contracts.
The new members were selected through a competitive process begun in April when CDW-G issued a request for proposals (RFP) soliciting additional small businesses to partner with CDW-G on federal business opportunities. The consortium, launched in 2003, was created to help small businesses compete more effectively for IT contracts with federal agencies because they have the backing of CDW-G’s extensive e-commerce, service, and distribution capabilities.
Several federal agencies, including the U.S. Air Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have taken advantage of the consortium to purchase technology products and services.
