contract vehicles

Contract vehicles are pre-established agreements between government agencies and suppliers that streamline the purchasing process. They set the terms, scope, and pricing in advance, allowing agencies to buy goods or services quickly and efficiently without starting a new contract each time. Examples include government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) or blanket purchase agreements (BPAs). These vehicles reduce paperwork, save time, and ensure compliance with regulations, making procurement more predictable and cost-effective for both the government and vendors.
