Vela Systems Announces GSA Schedule 70 Award for Field Management Software for Construction and Facilities Processes

Vela Systems Inc. announced today that it has been awarded a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 70 Contract for Information Technology (contract number GS-35F-0287Y). This award enables government agencies at the federal, state and local levels to procure the Vela Systems Field Management Software Suite off of a standard contract vehicle. The revolution in field devices, like iPads, and software infrastructures, like cloud computing, are enabling new ways of managing construction and operations. Vela Systems field management software leverages this technology revolution to enable project and agency-wide programs for quality management, safety management, leveraging 2D and 3D documents (including building information models) in the field, and commissioning of key systems and equipment for handover and operations. To date, Vela Systems field management software has been successfully used by public sector Owners like the GSA, the Army Corps of Engineers, the US Navy, and many local and state governments. As one example, Fort Lee, a US Army Corps of Engineers project, was named ENR’s (Engineering News- Record) project of the year for the Mid-Atlantic in the Government/Public Buildings segment. Due to the use of the quality management process enabled by the Vela Systems software, there were a minimal number of issues to address and the client moved in ahead of schedule. A public sector kit of information is available to learn more. Vela Systems’ achievement of a GSA Schedule 70 Award will make it even easier for public agencies to procure Vela Systems products and services. By using the contract, government agencies may buy directly from Vela Systems with pre-negotiated terms and favorable pricing options. According to Tim Curran, CEO of Vela Systems, “The GSA Schedule 70 Award demonstrates Vela’s commitment to offer flexible acquisition options for its federal, state and local government customers.” If you are interested in using Vela Systems software on a government project, contact us to find out about leveraging our GSA Schedule contract.
