How to procure Pyramid
Procurement-officer FAQs — vehicle selection, ordering process, and how to reach our contracts team.
Which contract vehicle should I use to procure Pyramid?
It depends on your agency and the type of services you need. GSA IT Schedule 70 is our most broadly applicable IDIQ — any federal, state, or local agency can buy IT professional services through it. GSA OASIS+ Unrestricted covers management consulting and technical engineering across the government. Agency-specific vehicles (CMS SPARC for HHS, SEC ONE IT for SEC, FDIC ITAS III, HUD O&M BPA) are typically used by their sponsoring agency. GSA 8(a) STARS III is our Small Business 8(a) GWAC — use it for set-aside requirements. When in doubt, reach out via our contact page and we'll recommend the right path.
How do I place an order under one of these vehicles?
Every vehicle has a standard 3-step ordering process: (1) build a performance-based statement of work, (2) send it to our contracts team through our contact page, (3) issue the order on your agency's approved order form (typically SF-1449). Each vehicle's sub-page on this site has the exact procedure plus our contract number, period of performance, and ordering officer contact.
What's the difference between a prime contract and a subcontractor position?
Pyramid holds the prime position on all seven of these vehicles. That means you contract directly with us — there's no broker, no markup, no third-party in the chain. The contract number is in our name. The performance accountability is on us. Prime status is awarded competitively by the issuing agency, and it signals a higher level of qualification, financial standing, and past-performance review.
How long does it take to get a task order awarded?
Most IDIQ vehicles support task orders in 30-90 days from SOW receipt. The fastest path is our GSA Schedule (which allows micro-purchases under $10K without a competition) and our 8(a) STARS III directed awards. Larger competitive task orders take longer depending on agency procurement processes. Our contracts team can give you a realistic timeline once we see the scope.
