Which contract vehicle should I use?

Short version: GSA MAS for IT services, training, and mixed product/service buys; NASA SEWP V for fast technology product procurement; NIH CIO-CS for IT commodities and licensing; SeaPort NxG for Navy and DoD engineering and program services; MDA SHIELD for missile defense technology and engineering. If it's not obvious, send us the requirement - routing it is our job, not yours.

Is StorSoft the prime on all of these?

StorSoft holds GSA MAS, NASA SEWP V (Group C / HUBZone), NIH CIO-CS, SeaPort NxG, and MDA SHIELD as prime or joint-venture paths. Army ITES-3S is different: StorSoft participates as a Tier 2 subcontractor, so requirements there route through a teaming arrangement rather than a direct order.

What if my requirement mixes products, services, and training?

That's common, and it's what GSA MAS handles well: IT professional services under SIN 54151S, training under SIN 611420, and order-level materials on the same task order. Tell us the full scope and we'll propose the cleanest single-vehicle structure before you split the buy.

How fast can you turn a quote around?

90% of complete-scope requests get a triage response in 24-48 hours - what you need, quantity or labor mix, deadline, and vehicle if you know it. Complex configurations take longer, but you'll know the timeline in that first response.
