Streamlined and Flexible. That is why GSA created this third generation Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) and why hundreds of federal defense and civilian organizations over the past dozen years made the two predecessor 8(a) GWACs their vehicles of choice. The STARS II GWAC is set aside for small businesses that participate in the Small Business Administration 8(a) program. It provides all federal defense and civilian agencies with an efficient, flexible way to order information technology services and solutions worldwide while accruing 8(a) socio-economic credit.  STARS II key features and benefits include:
