Advantages
Using the SAIC NATO BOA (Basic Ordering Agreement)
This contract is intended to make the NATO procurement process simpler and quicker. The SAIC NATO BOA can be used by any NATO agency, any NATO member government agency (civilian or military), or any contractor performing work on behalf of NATO or a member government to contract with SAIC. Partnership for Peace (PFP) countries may also be eligible. This streamlined procurement vehicle significantly reduces the time required to obtain services because of pre-reviewed vendors' capabilities, negotiated rates, and prequalified vendors to provide services. Customers can place orders directly with the BOA contractor, and deliveries are made directly to the customer. See who can use.
