New PRISM contract provides enhanced Department of Defense capabilities

WASHINGTON - The U.S. General Services Administration's new $1.8 billion Personnel and Readiness Infrastructure Support Management (PRISM) Multiple Award Task Order Contract ("MATOC") vehicle supports the Department of Defense (DOD) and its need to obtain critical services in a shorter time frame.

The PRISM contract provides the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OUSD P&R) and strategic partners with innovative and cost-effective services through the use of Streamline Task Order Ordering Procedures ("STOOP"). These procedures result in a significant reduction in acquisition lead time and increased flexibility for the entire acquisition process

"PRISM has simplified the acquisition process, decreased costs, and made it easy for OUSD P&R to execute its mission," said Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness Chief of Staff Brian J. Simmons. "OUSD P&R was an early adopter and sponsor of PRISM, and it's remarkable how quickly GSA was able to put this into place for us."

"This IDIQ incorporates industry best practices to meet the demands associated with a dynamic global threat and security environment," says GSA's Assisted Acquisition Services Client Executive Darrick Early. "Our team is set up to handle these complex procurements and provide this specialized contracting support for the defense community."
