The STARS III GWAC saves time and money by reducing procurement lead time.  Federal agencies may sole-source task orders up to the 8(a) competitive threshold. It is a pre-competed, easy-to-use contract with streamlined ordering procedures based on FAR 16.505. Under the GWAC there are no protests on orders under $10 million, except on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period or maximum value of the GWAC.

Leveraging exceptionally qualified 8(a) small-business industry partners, STARS III gives agencies quick access to emerging technology such as machine learning/artificial intelligence and robotic process automation (RPA). Through STARS III task orders agencies may now access experts in the Karsun Innovation Center, Karsun’s CMMI V2.0 Level 5 (DEV) methodology GoLean and MindCubed’s GRID™ enterprise-scale Big Data platform.
