The CONNECTIONS program is broken down into 3 separate categories. Each category contains a list of awardees. Some contractors were awarded in multiple categories. The table below contains e-mail distribution lists a Designated Agency Official (DAO) could utilize to notify the appropriate vendors when competing an opportunity. This list was developed to assist DAOs in complying with Section 16.505(b) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
In addition, the CONNECTIONS Procuring Contracting Officer has determined that due to the way CONNECTIONS was structured and awarded, if a DAO chooses to issue a Delivery/Task Order Request, it must go to all CONNECTIONS awardees within that particular category. In other words:
Equipment requests must go to all eight Category 1 awardees
Support services requests must go to all sixteen Category 2 awardees
Solutions requests must go to all eight Category 3 awardees.
All contractors within a category should be able to compete equally for any order within that category.
For example, if a DAO was competing an opportunity for category 1 (i.e. Equipment & Services), they would use the e-mail addresses in list 1 to distribute their Request for Quote to all of the vendors awarded in that category.
Note: This list is provided strictly as a convenience to DAOs. DAOs may prefer to solicit each vendor separately or use a method other than e-mail. If so, a more comprehensive listing of contact information is provided below.
Below is an alphabetical listing of the vendors and their contact information for receiving orders:
