A government contract vehicle is a pre-established agreement or contract mechanism that enables government agencies to procure goods and services from approved vendors without going through the lengthy and complex traditional procurement process each time. These vehicles are typically multi-year agreements that outline terms and conditions, pricing structures, and other essential details. |
