Accelerate cloud sales to the SLED market | Uniform Guidance

Using a contract that was procured in accordance with Uniform Guidance, 2-C.F.R. Part 200, allows state and local (SLED) customers to bypass the traditonal request for proposals (RFP) process. The RFP process is often necessary to execute a deal; it is time consuming and labor intensive. The process can often be bypassed. 

immixGroup recently earned a publicly procured, competitively solicited contract award for Equalis Group Cloud Solutions contract with the Cooperative Council of Governments (CCOG). This contract allows IT suppliers and IT resellers to provide, through EC America, cloud products and services to public sector entities across the country through a legal and compliant exemption to the traditional RFP process. This contract was procured and awarded in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.

It’s the perfect time to advise customers about the benefits of using this legal and compliant exemption

Today, many private sector organizations use the cloud. It’s efficient, secure and agile, and public sector organizations are gradually investing in cloud solutions. While contract vehicle options are limited for selling cloud solutions to SLED organizations — and some contracts outright prohibit the sale of cloud products — the need for modern technology in the public sphere continues to grow. With the help of the Equalis Group contract and Uniform Guidance, you can work to fill the need faster than ever. Here’s how:
