The General Services Administration has unveiled a final solicitation for the next iteration of its enterprise system that federal employees use to record, book and expense their travel arrangements.
GSA stood up its E-Gov Travel Service in the early 2010s as a means to consolidate all aspects of travel planning, authorization, reservations, ticketing fulfillment, expense reimbursement and management reporting into a single mechanism for civilian agencies.
For what is called ETSNext, GSA is looking to further centralize and take on the responsibility of managing the travel and expense services on behalf of other civilian agencies. GSA released the ETSNext final request for proposals on Friday as part of a two-phase competition that will see the field of bidders narrowed after the first phase.
GSA will pick a single winner for ETSNext that will be responsible for providing a cloud-based managed service platform environment to house the travel-related information, along with operational support and implementation services.
GSA also clearly states that it is buying a “configurable (and) commercial” service to deployed and centrally-managed for government-wide usage.
