This enables Contracting Officers to use simplified evaluations at the task order level, resulting in significant savings in time, money and resources. The benefits of using the CIO-SP3 contract are summarized below.

• Faster: Streamlined ordering and procedures under FAR Subpart 16.505 save time, money and resources. Synopsizing or posting on FedBizOpps is not required.
