FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AWARDS GSA SCHEDULE TO METHODFACTORY

Technology solutions firm to expand its government agency practice

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) March 29, 2002 -- MethodFactory, a leading technology solutions firm, today announced that it has been awarded a five-year GSA schedule from the federal government's General Services Administration, enabling the company to offer its comprehensive portfolio of technology services to government civilian and DOD agencies.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) was established by the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, which was passed by the 81st Congress and signed into law by President Harry Truman on July 1, 1949. GSA schedules are a primary purchasing tool for government agencies. The MethodFactory GSA contract, which is renewable for three additional five-year periods, is significant in that it provides these agencies with access to the company's technology expertise, including content management solutions, e-government services, and kiosk management solutions.

"MethodFactory has a strong track-record, providing city and county government with technology services," said Jim Bailey, a co-founder of MethodFactory. "The award of this GSA schedule allows us to dramatically increase our reach into the Government sector."

MethodFactorys GSA schedule focuses on the company's content management and web-enablement services. The company currently has government clients, including Polk County, Florida; the City of Charlotte, NC; and Mecklenburg County, NC. The award of this GSA schedule will lead to much quicker engagements with government agencies, as pricing, and payment terms have all been pre negotiated," said John Leeming, VP of Business Development at MethodFactory. This schedule also allows us to pursue subcontracting relationships with major service organizations like EDS and Northrop Gruman."
