 Eight Best-in-Class Solutions Maintain Designation for a Second Year
Several Best-in-Class solutions have successfully completed their annual reviews, reaffirming their respective designations for another year. Continued use of these Best-in-Class contracts will save agencies money and support small business utilization while reducing duplicate contracts and streamlining the acquisition process. In FY17, these Best-in-Class solutions resulted in more than $2.7 billion in reported government-wide savings plus an additional $298.4 million in SmartPay refunds; $210.9 million in spend on these solutions went to small businesses.
Best-in-Class solutions report at least quarterly on savings, performance, and transactional pricing data. The Government-wide Category Management Dashboards are being updated to allow all Federal users to view this data in the future.
