The GSA Integrated Acquisition Environment awards contract to develop, deploy and host eSRS to Symplicity Corporation.

As part of Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) mission to use technology to stream-line federal procurement processes, the electronic system that is being developed will allow contractors to enter both SF 294 and SF 295 into a single website that is part of eSRS. Training will be provided for both industry and government before the system is implemented.

The eSRS will eliminate both standard forms SF 294 and SF 295 paper submissions, and contractors will now submit all their reports electronically to a single, government wide system. Having a single reporting tool for all subcontracting plans will streamline the process and provide the government with immediate access to the data. The contractor will be responsible for inputting accurate and complete reports. Contractors will benefit from eSRS because of improved data accuracy, as the system eliminates the need for manual data entry, computations, and multiple requests from agency personnel to validate percentages.

The eSRS is a solution that will greatly improve accountability, transparency, and communication regarding the Small Business Subcontracting Program.
