Distribution of Lead and Support PWS Responsibilities
Across the CyraCom CTA team, there are at least two members capable of delivering every type of GSA Public Service Schedule 738II Functional Category 1 (FC1).
To ensure careful coordination and complete coverage, we designated a lead team member and a support team member for each type of language service listed in the PWS. The lead team member in each category is responsible for bidding on all task orders in that category with assistance from the supporting team member.
CyraCom will coordinate all task order responses that require services under multiple SIN categories.
