The Gordian Group Services Now Easily Accessed on Federal GSA Schedule

MAULDIN, S.C., Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gordian Group announced today it has received its GSA Schedule 70 from the U.S. federal government, which allows federal, state and local government agencies to acquire the company's award-winning, Internet based construction procurement system.

Federal, state, and local agency administrators who manage repair, alteration and small-construction projects for facilities and infrastructure can use The Gordian Group's Job Order Contracting procurement system, eGordian, utilizing GSA Schedule 70, GS-35F-0081Y Special Item Number (SIN 132-52). The Gordian Group estimates that eGordian can save the federal government hundreds of millions of dollars on the procurement of construction services while increasing the use of small, minority-owned and local businesses to complete these projects.

The GSA Schedule is the primary tool used by U.S. federal agencies to purchase commercially available products and services. As a result of the cooperative purchasing nature of the GSA Schedule 70, state, county and municipal agencies, as well as school districts in all 50 states, can also use eGordian.

"The GSA schedule is often the first place federal agencies look when acquiring new products and services," said Barbara Bleiweis, Director of Federal Business Development for The Gordian Group. "Listing eGordian on the GSA Schedule now makes it easy for federal agencies to access time- and money-saving benefits of our system."

Products and services purchased using GSA Schedule 70 are related to information technology. According to GSA, federal agencies purchased services totaling $11.1 billion in 2010 under Schedule 70. States purchased services worth $482 million in the same year.

Job Order Contracting is a competitively bid procurement process government agencies use to accomplish a large number of small- to medium-sized repair and alteration projects based on a set of locally priced construction tasks and competitively awarded contracts. eGordian is The Gordian Group's web-based system that combines a core, robust construction-procurement system with a rapidly growing number of construction cost estimating and sourcing tools.

Each year, more than $1.5 billion in public repair and renovation work is procured using The Gordian Group's Job Order Contracting systems, saving agencies not only millions of dollars, but also countless hours in procurement and project-management time.
