CRAI holds a twenty year-long Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract as a prime contractor for providing environmental planning services with the General Service Administration (GSA Contract No. GS-10F-0259N, effective February 20, 2003). Our particular niche under this contract lies in " Archaeological, Historical and other Cultural Resource Management Plans, Studies, and Consultations."

This procurement vehicle may be used by any federal agency to contract directly with CRAI through the GSA Federal Supply Schedule SIN 899-1. The advantage to our clients is that the GSA schedule allows agencies to avoid the long delays of advertising and soliciting multiple proposals necessary for contract award. Normally, it takes federal agencies about 270 days to place a contract. By using GSA's multiple award schedule, the same can be accomplished in as little as two weeks! Federal agencies order from these schedules by:

• Developing a Scope of Work;
• Requesting quotes from at least three schedule contractors; and,
• Making their selection based upon best value.

Quite simply, the GSA provides federal agencies with the best value for the dollars available.
