Federal agencies governmentwide can now address their customized training and development, human capital strategy, and organizational performance-improvement service needs through a new, first-of-its-kind partnership between federal agencies and the private sector.
Using a category management approach to optimize spending, the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) Unrestricted contract is intended to increase access to 77 qualified vendors offering efficient, cost-effective management and training support.
The HCaTS Unrestricted contract has been awarded an official notice to proceed by the General Services Administration, which developed it in cooperation with the Office of Personnel Management and Office of Management and Budget, following input from the Chief Human Capital Officer's Council, Small Business Administration, the Category Management Leadership Council, the Professional Services Council and the Coalition for Government Procurement.
"HCaTS is an outstanding example of federal agencies working together to provide a best-in-class, category-specific solution that helps deliver mission-critical services and saves valuable agency resources as well as taxpayer dollars," GSA Administrator Denise Turner Roth said in a statement. "Having HCaTS Unrestricted ready for business means our federal partners get fast and flexible access to the human capital training and support services they need."
