Electronic Procurement:
Business Strategy Needed for GSA's Advantage System
GAO-03-328: Published: Feb 19, 2003. Publicly Released: Mar 21, 2003.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8214
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Congress has been seeking to increase federal agency purchases of equipment and services on line. The General Services Administration's (GSA) Advantage Internet-based ordering system is meant for conducting market research and ordering all types of products and services on line. About $84 million has already been invested in this endeavor. GAO was asked to assess how effectively GSA has managed this investment.
GSA Advantage has had only limited success as an on-line market research and ordering tool. Market research has been limited primarily to off-the-shelf office products, and sales through Advantage have never exceeded one-half of 1 percent of overall schedule sales. Because of initial design limitations, Advantage has not been effective in acquiring complex products and services, particularly information technology services that make up most of the growth in schedule sales. Recent enhancements may facilitate use of the system for buying complex services, but vendor participation has not been strong. For example, for almost half the requests for quotes, agencies received no responses from vendors. Advantage does not contain all schedule products and services, as required, and some schedule vendors complain about the cost and complexity involved in participating. While GSA has modified the Advantage system to provide better and more information on products and services, the system is unlikely to succeed without a business strategy. To date, GSA has not yet answered basic questions surrounding Advantage, including (1) if it is technically feasible to make purchases of all products and services on line given the range of activities involved with making more complex acquisitions, (2) if so, whether Advantage is the right system to do this, and (3) if not, whether Advantage could be used for smaller, simpler purchases and as an information source for making larger, more complicated acquisitions. Moreover, GSA has not thoroughly analyzed other alternatives to Advantage or developed effective measures to assess return on investment and user satisfaction. A business strategy would require GSA to not only reexamine its objectives for on-line purchasing and various solutions, but also develop measures appropriate for gauging success. As such, it would help GSA assess whether continued investment in Advantage is worthwhile and make modifications to the system that will substantially enhance its performance.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GSA concurred with GAO's report recommendation and recognized that it was time to perform a rigorous analysis that will document the business case for an on-line market research and ordering system such as the Advantage system. GSA recognized that the lack of a documented business strategy has led to uncertainty about what GSA Advantage is and does and how success is demonstrated. To that end, GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS) completed a business case (i.e., strategy) analysis in December 2004 to determine the role GSA Advantage should play with respect to the acquisition process. GSA recognized that the success or failure of an organization's technology projects often is based on its ability to tie technology enhancements to business needs and to adequately involve stakeholders in the capabilities and design phases of the system. To gather information for the formulation of the business strategy, FSS conducted more than 100 interviews with customers, vendors, and other stakeholders. FSS used the information gathered to identify key drivers that influence the FSS on-line business environment, identify alternative approaches (i.e., business strategies), define a set of criteria that would distinguish the alternatives, rank the alternatives, and recommend a solution. The December 2004 business strategy analysis articulated four alternatives to the evolution of GSA Advantage and described the business considerations for each approach. Consistent with GAO's recommendation, for each alternative, GSA assessed objectives for the on-line GSA Advantage system, desired system capabilities, and the dollar investment (resources) to implement the system. In January 2005, based on this alternative business case analysis, the agency selected the GSA Advantage business strategy that would best meet the needs of the FSS and its customers. Specifically, the new business strategy is to significantly enhance GSA Advantage's technical capabilities so that the system (1) provides comprehensive support to customers across the 12-step federal acquisition process, from "formulate requirements" to "close out order", and (2) creates a more robust e-commerce environment for government buyers and FSS suppliers. Under the new strategy, GSA Advantage will serve as portal or broker between buyers and suppliers and will provide customers web-based, automated capability to formulate acquisition requirements for goods and services and develop statements of work, evaluation criteria, and requests for proposals. Although GSA estimates a $124 million investment cost to implement the more technically enhanced GSA Advantage system, the agency estimates substantial monetary benefits to accrue. Specifically, GSA projects the benefits of the new Advantage business strategy to total over $1.5 billion. The monetary benefits will be derived (1) from savings from each electronic transaction processed through GSA Advantage; (2) from spend analyses; (3) from the use of templates, wizards, and a searchable procurement data repository; and )4) from competitive pricing. Finally, consistent with GAO's recommendation, GSA's new business strategy calls for reviewing and as appropriate adding new performance measures (metrics) with which to track the results and outcomes of a significantly technically enhanced GSA Advantage system. Proposed performance measures include (1) electronic transaction processing savings, (2) competitive pricing savings, (3) number of electronic postings, and (4) customer satisfaction.
Recommendation: The Administrator of General Services should develop a comprehensive business strategy that identifies GSA's objectives for an on-line market research and ordering system, the desired capabilities of that system, the resources required to implement the system, and measures to track performance.
Agency Affected: General Services Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GSA concurred with GAO's report recommendation and recognized that it was time to perform a rigorous analysis that will document the business case for an on-line market research and ordering system such as the Advantage system. In response in January 2005--after completing a comprehensive analysis of four alternative business strategies for revamping GSA Advantage--GSA determined which of the four options will be implemented to develop the most appropriate GSA Advantage system for achieving its objectives. Specifically, the agency has determined that GSA Advantage will be revamped to include significantly enhanced technical capabilities for a full-range of e-commerce functions between agency buyers and FSS suppliers. GSA plans to implement a range of technical enhancements in the short term (many in less than one year); near term (one to three years); and long term (more than three years).
Recommendation: After developing the business strategy, GSA should determine whether Advantage is the most appropriate system for achieving its objectives.
Agency Affected: General Services Administration

Being filled with the Holy Spirit in fullness brings forth the life of fruitfulness. It all comes down to what we believe and what we act on.
Faith is powerful and we choose to believe truth and error and out of that comes the emotions of the flesh which wrestle with the truth of the living God.
The word of God in faith is powerful and when we truly when we actually believe and stand on and wait for the LORD to bring it forth and He will.
He cannot lie, He does what He does as it's all good. His goodness is better than any good that we can muster up.

Spring brings in Love and Answering Your Psychic Questions
in Spirituality
Spring has arrived and it's time to say goodbye to old ways and manifest love into your life. If your relationship is over let it go. Love is ready to find you but sometimes we are afraid to accept it. We might stay in a relationship that we know is over or not right for us. On a full moon put an end to it and on a new moon manifest new beginnings. Manifest that love into your life
Sometimes we do need to be pushed and as I do psychic readings I can also see that many people need life coaching which I give them. I will answer your psychic questions about anything.

Adhamh O Broin Dialect Coach Brings Gaelic Authenticity to "Outlander"
NWP welcomes Adhamh OBroin, dialect coach for STARZ-TV hit show 'OUTLANDER" http://adhamhobroin.scot
The producers of "Outlander" are all about making the show as authentic as it can be.
That starts with shooting in the foggy hills of the Scottish Highlands — including turning real-life ruin Castle Doune into fictional Castle Leoch, home of the MacKenzie clan, whose exploits are recounted in Diana Gabaldon's best sellers — garbing the men in real kilts, which are composed of some 10 yards of tartan and then folded by hand; and having the Scots speak Gaelic, the language of the time. That's why resident hunk Jamie Fraser often affectionately refers to Claire Randall as "Sassenach," which means "outlander" in Gaelic, a derisive term that Jamie turns into a pet name.
Since Gaelic is nearly a dead language, sprinkling it liberally through the scenes took some doing. For starters, the show hired Àdhamh Ó Broin to serve as the show's Gaelic dialect coach.
The series was lucky to find Ó Broin. The married father of four has dedicated much of his life to the study and preservation of the language and its multiple dialects, and he brought that expertise to bear on "Outlander."

Clever Black was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in March of 1973. He and his immediate family left New Orleans on August 28, 2005 to escape hurricane Katrina and they've never returned to the city except for the occasional visit. Clever Black and his family now call Charlotte, North Carolina home.
The first book published in the saga, titled The Holland Family Saga Part One: They Don't Mind Dying, was released in March of 2012 and is enjoying minimal success. Seven subsequent novels in the series soon followed; the latest release in the on-going epic saga, titled Definition of a Boss, was released in July of 2014.
In less than two years, Author Clever Black has released nine full-length novels under his own publishing company, Clever Black Books, LLC. In February of 2014, he signed with Write House Publishing and launched a new series titled Outlaw Chics, and now has a total of ten novels under his belt.
The Author's work doesn't stop there, however; Clever Black has a bi-monthly column in Urban Grapevine Magazine, a digital magazine that caters to Urban Fiction, titled Publishing, Politicking and People. His first article was published inside the magazine in May of 2014.
This is fiction at its best. Real life tales played out within the pages of novels that will have readers yearning for more. The Holland Family Saga is a great American story for all lovers of fiction. Implicit has an ending that is forcing readers to read the book twice. Outlaw Chics is a story unique to the Urban Genre and his main body of work.
Facebook:/Clever Black and on Twitter @cleverblack. His works are available in eBook format and paperback on Amazon, and in e-book format on Barnes and Nobles, with Outlaw Chics being exclusively published in Kindle format only.

Steve Harvey says"I do not care about slavery?"How much is your soul worth Steve?All the cooning for a dollar going on in the name of entertainment.African Americans and Africans are two different peoples.We are similar but different.How we as AA view White people is different from the African.So we must deal with them and not let Africans lure us into their backward passive ways. The beauty of African American culture.African Americans generally are more progressive and less tribal than any other Black people.Look at how we embace Actors like Chiwetal Ojiofour,David Oyelowo,Lupita,and others.In Africa a person of a different tribe cannot play another tribe for fear of backlash. White people seem to have amnesia about their burning and crucifying Black men and women in America,lets remind them. Listen to the Kalagenesis tonight for a fire and brimestone sermon in Kala Land.

If you told me to picture a mansion in Brazil, this would *not* have come to mind. Kinda funny seeing a Georgian style home on such a bare plot. Interior is bare – no shock there.
What an odd house. The exterior is Georgian Lite. The interior has some elements that could make be nice when the house is furnished, but then other parts are simple, or downright rough. This needs a lot of help.
I am more interested in the location than the house. Sao Paolo is a huge city. People use helicopters like taxis to get around. I wonder if this neighborhood is a helicopter commuter neighborhood of the rich into Sao Paolo.

The field is set: 65 teams ready to compete and cut down the nets in Indianapolis, baby!
It wasn't a surprise to see Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse and Duke get the four No. 1 seeds. Nor was it shocking when the Big East and Big 12 earned eight and seven bids, respectively.
But now, my friends, the fun really starts. When I break it down, I feel that the cream will rise to the top. In other words, I think the majority of the top seeds will make it to the Sweet 16.
You can check out my full bracket here.
Sweet 16: Kansas vs. Michigan State, Georgetown vs. Ohio State
Regional finals: Kansas vs. Georgetown
Regional winner: Kansas
Sweet 16: Syracuse vs. Vanderbilt, Pittsburgh vs. Kansas State
Regional finals: Syracuse vs. Kansas State
Regional winner: Kansas State
Sweet 16: Kentucky vs. Wisconsin, Marquette vs. West Virginia
Regional finals: Kentucky vs. West Virginia
Regional winner: Kentucky
Sweet 16: Duke vs. Texas A&M, Notre Dame vs. Villanova
Regional finals: Duke vs. Villanova
Regional winner: Villanova
FINAL FOUR: Kansas vs. Kentucky
NATIONAL CHAMPION: Kentucky
Talent is a key factor and I truly believe that the talented tandem of John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins will accomplish the same feat as Carmelo Anthony and Gerry McNamara for Syracuse in 2003. People question Kentucky's experience, but I'm going with them all the way, baby!
Dick Vitale: Who will cut down the nets in Indianapolis?
Dick Vitale writes, The action at these conference tournaments should be intense. The field will take shape, and I really feel there will only be a couple of teams battling for the final spots into the field.

Jody Fuller to announce on Friday
Four-star WR will choose between Miami, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia Tech
BEAVERTON, Ore. -- The Opening will signal the end of the recruiting process for Jody Fuller The 6-foot, 206-pound four-star wide receiver from Indian Trail (N.C.) High School will announce his college decision during events on Friday at Nike World Headquarters. ESPNU will air The Opening at 9 p.m. ET.
The nation's No. 22 wide receiver said he is considering Miami, Tennessee, South Carolina and Virginia Tech.
So has Fuller made his decision already?
"Sort of," he said. "Kind of, you know. I'll find out tomorrow."
Whether that answer originated from being coy or true uncertainty is unclear. But he does know what he's looking for and what he likes about his finalists.
South Carolina: "Where they're going and where they can be. Coach [Steve] Spurrier and Coach [Steve] Spurrier Jr., [running backs Coach [Jay] Graham and the relationship I have with those guys."
Virginia Tech: "They're one of the best in the ACC every year. They win championships."
Tennessee: "It's a good program. They look like they're coming up on the rise."
Miami: "The coaching staff are NFL coaches mostly."
Then it was time for more uncertainty -- or coyness -- when Fuller was asked if distance from home would be a factor.
"That really hasn't been a factor in my decision -- staying close to home," he said. "Maybe. I don't know."

It did more than harm the owners, it harmed all of us. Every time the government pokes into private decisions made by mutually-consenting adults, we all pay the price.
BTF I think for the most part, takes a libertarian stance on PEDs, dismissing any negative health effects as speculative or unproven or downright false
That's not really the libertarian stance on PEDs. The libertarian stance is players should be free to use PEDs, owners are free attempt to negotiate PEDs as part of a condition to employment, and players should be free to collectively bargain that and either go with the proposal with the owners or use their own leverage to get a different proposal (but that they should not be free to prevent the forming of a competing union between players that may seek to be more permissive or less permissive of drug terms in the negotiating process).
Whether or not the drugs are dangerous or not is besides the point. The players are free to consider these facts when formulating their individual or collective opinions on drug use in the matter of contract negotiation. I only see it as any of the government's business if, say, someone walking next to a roided up person had a higher risk of cancer or something (and then, only in either actual public places or places where a person could not reasonably have implicitly accepted that risk).
Chess after Deep Blue still draws a crowd (well, for chess) so I think the interest will be there. Still, for me, some of the magic in the deep, undiscoverable beauty that used to be chess (even though that was the function of limited brains) was lost after computer chess dwarfed human abilities.
At least you still have Go.

I've never felt this way. I think it's actually more interesting and beautiful knowing that there is a solution. If the solution is trivial enough that I can memorize it easily, then it won't be interesting as a game any more (tic-tac-toe), but even games that are clearly solved like Connect Four or checkers can still be fun to play (especially if you add a speed element).
Then again, I am the sort of person that appreciates a magic trick more when I know how it works.

The funny thing about Deep Blue's win is that both of Kasparov's losses were utterly uncharacteristic blunders. He resigned in a drawn position -- the only time this happened in his career. Yeah, he'd lost a few games that could have been saved (not many -- he simply didn't lose all that often), but never gave up a salvageable position in his life.
And the other was an elementary blunder in an attempt to take Deep Blue out of its opening book. He just didn't make those kinds of errors. It was a game that would shame somebody about 4 classes below him. Hell, I'm about 8 classes below Kasparov and I wouldn't be happy making the mistake he did (though I've made bigger). It's one of the biggest blunders by a world class player in the history of the game. On par with Stein walking into a mate in one (but at least Stein had time pressure to explain his error -- Kasparov's was in the opening). Fischer had a similar blunder once -- explained as his accidentally touching a piece and having no good move with it.
Deep Blue actually showed better in the drawn game than in either of the wins in my opinion.
It did more than harm the owners, it harmed all of us. Every time the government pokes into private decisions made by mutually-consenting adults, we all pay the price.
That's a beautiful sentiment. It bears no relationship to the argument I was making, but it's lovely in a "kids are our future" sense.
I sure as hell am not defending the Congressional involvement. But the owners suffered nothing tangible as a consequence of their delayed action on juicing. Only the players did.

We had one very good dinner at Bella Brava marred only by our own incessant business-related texts. My husband ordered the tuna appetizer and was only a third finished when his main course, seafood fra diavolo, arrived. Not the fault of the kitchen! Both were really fine. I had a chicken dish with mascarpone (?) and delish grilled asparagus. It came with a house salad that was excellent--fresh and nicely dressed. Service was very good. Lovely, cheerful waitress. Even though there was a large table of (after work?) guys right nearby the noise level was bearable. There are also outdoor tables. Shared a creme brulee for dessert. A lovely meal we'd like to repeat with fewer personal distractions.

Challenging Times
With just the Genoa flying, we passed back through the narrow entrance to Virgin Gorda Sounds, sailing between the coral reefs and out of the lovely protected lagoon that we had enjoyed so much, heading for the Island of Tortola. It was late morning and we were in no hurry as the port of Road Town was only about an hour and a half sailing time.
Passing by a bay that lay very close to the airport that Kathie would be leaving from in just over two weeks, ...
Soggy Dollar
This morning we pulled into a magnificent torquoise bay with bobbing yachts and white sands,
Following our first breakfast on board we ventured ashore by tender and found a mostly uncivilised and very laid back community of 400 people who all seem to be related. Their economy seems to be based on the sale of tshirts, alcohol and food to cruise passengers and yachties. We caught the local open air shuttle bus to the Soggy Dollar bar, so ...

We arrived in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands at 0900; our first of eight stops. We have travelled a total of 980 nautical miles so far. It's been smooth sailing at an average leisurely speed of about 15 knots. Three other ships are in port today (Oasis of the Seas, Disney Fantasy and Carnival Dream) with us. Remember, the Carnival Dream broke down in St Maarten a couple of weeks ago, and the Oasis of the Seas left Ft Lauderdale just ahead of us ...

We spent most of the day on a sailboat, cruising between Tortola and the neighboring BVI island of Jost Van Dyke. Before we boarded, however, we were up with the birds (free range chickens that proliferate throughout the islands in this case) to check out a walk in Sage Mountain National Park.

- gliding mammals;

Major roads and highways disrupt ecological flows and create barriers or filters to the movement of many species of wildlife, including gliding mammals. Mitigating these impacts presents major challenges for road authorities. One approach has been the retention of forest vegetation in median strips to serve as 'stepping stones' for gliding mammals to cross road gaps otherwise beyond their glide capacity. A recently upgraded section of the Pacific Highway through tall open forest near Bonville in north-east New South Wales retained forest within two 10- to 45-m-wide median strips separating each carriageway and a service road. We investigated whether Sugar Gliders (Petaurus breviceps) used these median strips to cross an 85 to 135 m-wide road corridor. Three radio-collared Sugar Gliders (one male and two females) moved between both highway medians and forest on either side of the road corridor during 32 days of radio-tracking. Although the sample size is small, these results suggest that highway median strips, featuring mature vegetation with a major den tree, can provide 'stepping stones' for gliding mammals to cross a highway that would otherwise function as a movement barrier or filter. Longer-term research with greater numbers of animals at this and other sites is required to determine whether such strips would be commonly used when den trees are absent and whether gliding via median strips may also increase road mortality of the species.

Great!! Exceeded my expectations!! Love it!! Looks great!! Colors are perfect!!
Teresa from Albuquerque, NM– Verified Buyer
Great product! I love it. Cats love it! Dog even enjoys the "whiskers". So fun!! Thank you! I have to admit I was a bit skeptical: The picture looks great, is the product really going to look that good? Yes, it really does. Great quality. There are so many pieces of cat furniture out there, but this is unique. The quality is better than many out there and you have your choice of colors to choose from. The piece on top is bigger than it looks. I was afraid my cats wouldn't use it. It looks like it wouldn't be comfortable to curl up on, but the look is deceiving. There is plenty of room to curl up. I would definitely buy again! Thanks for such a great experience!!
Great Post and Sturdy!!!
Bengal Mommy from Charlotte, NC– Verified Buyer
This scratching post/ cat gym is perfect for my 2 Bengal kittens. They are high energy, smart and inquisitive....and they love it! They climbed into the box before I even got it out for them! They sleep in the cradle at the top (yes both of them) and they play hide and seek in the face part and jump all over the rest of it. They also chew on the whiskers which are really durable plastic and safe even for kittens. The sisal post is perfect for their scratching needs too. The gym arrived [...]assembled in a large box. FYI: It is very heavy so you may need 2 people to move it around. I was very impressed how solid the gym is and also it is very well made. The cat face on the front really doesn't go with the decor of my house but I like that I was able to pick out the color of the carpet and base post. I got the charcaol gray which was the exact color online. I would recommend this post for anyone with high energy cats.

Open since 1821, the hotel proudly declares that the pisco sour was invented here. True or not, the bartenders serve up a very good version of the drink—made from limes, pisco (a grape brandy), and foamy egg whites—in a wood-paneled room.
