What are they saying?
“Using the reverse auction process through the services of FedBid is a win-win situation for everyone — the Office of Acquisition, the customer, the small business community and the Department as a whole. We recognized how beneficial FedBid could be in 2002 when we started working with the company, which is why we’ve chosen to continue working with FedBid through GSA.”
Cathy Reed, Director, Office of Acquisitions, U.S. Department of State
