In addition to significantly expanding SnapIT’s presence in the public sector, the contract will enable the Overland Park-based firm to partner with federal agencies, small businesses and corporations to deliver technology solutions through its unique SPRNT business model, which has a pending patent.

GSA’s Best-in-Class 8(a) STARS III GWAC is a small business set-aside contract that equips federal agencies with access to customized IT solutions from a large, diverse pool of 8(a) industry partners. The highly selective contract award was offered to less than 1,000 service providers across the country.

 This fourth generation GWAC includes an even greater focus on emerging technologies as well as performance outside of the continental United States (OCONUS).
