It’s the latest in a string of headlines for SnapIT and its founder, Neelima Parasker, who has pushed to increase Kansas City’s and the region’s workforce tech readiness.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to receive this contract and opportunity, which will allow us to help serve U.S. federal agencies with our key services and in the emerging tech space,” said Parasker, who also serves as CEO of SnapIT. “We’ve delivered many technology solutions and services to our clients in the private industry, and we’re now primed to increase our presence in the public industry. We’re incredibly grateful for our employees, clients, partners and our support system that continue to show their belief in our abilities.”

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). SnapIT Solutions was selected for this contract vehicle based on its technical proficiencies, high customer satisfaction and competitive pricing, according to a press release.
