FAA Generates Large Savings Using K2 Sourcing's Managed Reverse Auction Service
(firmenpresse) - MILWAUKEE, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 11/21/11 -- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted a , using K2 Sourcing's Managed Reverse Auction Service, that is estimated to generate over a million dollars of savings over the life of the contract. The bulk of the contract is for the purchase of IT Hardware (desktops, laptops, monitors, etc.). The contract also includes a lesser spend on related professional services.
Hardware was broken out into two major bid groups. The first group included contract pricing for specified items and the second group utilized discounts off list price. To be eligible to participate in the reverse auction, suppliers first had to pass a technical down-selection review. Once deemed eligible to participate, suppliers conducted bids under secure aliases.
Participants placed over 240 competing offers in slightly under three hours. Both bid groups posted significant savings.
