CrossTec Corporation (http://www.NetOpUSA.com) has announced that its NetOp(TM) remote support and training products have been awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) Information Technology (IT) Schedule contract and are now recognized as an approved GSA IT Schedule contractor.

GSA Schedule Program

GSA IT Schedule contracts are awarded by the General Services Administration's IT Acquisition Center. GSA's IT Acquisition Center certifies that the prices a company has awarded on schedule are fair and reasonable for sale to any government agency. The goal for the GSA Schedules program is to provide a streamlined and cost effective procurement method for all federal agencies. The GSA IT Center awards schedule contracts for a wide variety of IT products and services, including systems development, systems operations, studies and other related support services. Government agencies can purchase directly from GSA Schedule holders using simplified acquisition procedures and do not require that agencies follow additional competition requirements.
