DSA Awarded General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule

Pittsburgh, PA, December 17, 2001 --- Data Science Automation, Inc., an automation consulting and systems integration firm, today announced it has been awarded the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and is now recognized as a Federal Supply Service contractor.

“Now, with an expedited GSA process in place, government agencies can benefit from our automation engineering and programming skills more quickly and more economically than in the past,” said Richard Brueggman, President and CEO of Data Science Automation. And with a Washington DC office, we are able to offer direct and open communications, and local technical support, to our highest concentration of government clients.

GSA was established by the Federal Property and Administrative Act, which was passed by the 81st Congress and signed into law by President Harry Truman on July 1, 1949. The role of the GSA has changed and evolved over the years. Today, the mission of the GSA is to provide policy leadership and expertly managed space, products, services and solutions, at the best value, to enable federal employees to do their jobs, while saving billions in tax dollars in their travel, rent and building maintenance, on everything they use from furniture to technology, and long-distance and local telecommunications costs. GSA has partnered with the best-of-the-best in the private sector, focusing on their individual strengths and expertise to accomplish new efficient and effective means to help create a government that is even more productive and responsible to the American public.

“To complement our services, we have aligned with dozens of leading manufacturers of software, networking, instrumentation, data acquisition, imaging, motion, and process control products that further enable us to achieve the goals of the GSA directly and/or through their subcontractors,” said Brueggman.
