The General Services Administration has awarded the AIS Engineering Team a Government-wide contract (GWAC) to benefit information technology vendors certified under the Small Business Administration's Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) Program.  The first-of-its-kind contract makes it easier for agencies to meet their goals of spending 3 percent of their procurement funds with HUBZone businesses, defined as small businesses based in economically Disadvantaged areas.   GSA's Small Business Solutions Development Center in Kansas City, Mo., will manage the program.   Agencies have had to meet minimum HUBZone spending goals for several years. It hasn't always been easy for them to locate suitable vendors. However,  by issuing the contract award, GSA is making it easier for agencies to meet their goals.   The award covers IT products and services, including internet service, e-commerce, distance learning, data warehousing, document imaging, storage-area networks, database design, web design, business process re-engineering, systems analysis, voice over IP, user support and help desk operations, contingency planning, and disaster recovery.   HUBZone businesses, under SBA's definition, must have a primary office in a HUBZone - an area with high unemployment and low average income - and at least 35 percent of its employees must live in a HUBZone.   The contract spans two years with up to three one-year options.
