NovaRest is proud to have recently been awarded a federal General Services Administration (GSA) contract. This allows NovaRest to contract directly with the federal government on financial and actuarial issues. “We look forward to expanding our services to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office of the Actuary (OACT) on this efficient preapproved basis,” said Donna Novak, Founder of NovaRest Actuarial Consulting.
The General Services Adminstration (GSA) is an independent agency of the United States government which helps manage and support the basic functions of federal agencies. GSA helps other government agencies with the acquisition of goods and/or services by pre-qualifying certain businesses. GSA maintains a large schedule, which is basically a collection of pre-negotiated contracts. Procurement managers from government agencies can view these agreements and make purchases from the GSA Schedule knowing that all legal obligations have been taken care of by GSA. “NovaRest is proud to be prequalified to contract with the federal government under the Financial and Business Solutions (FABS) Schedule,” said Novak. “This will allow us to sell our actuarial services directly to federal agencies.”
The GSA contract is not only beneficial for NovaRest, but the federal government as well. “This is particularly important to us and our government clients because we are a small business and a woman-owned business,” said Novak. “Contracts with us will help fill any quotas in this area.”
