Services Ordering Process
Advertising and Integrated Marketing Solutions | AIMS
AIMS is a competitively awarded contract. Each client agency has specific contract procedures that it will follow when using this simplified procurement process. Orders flow directly from the client agency to Westat. There is no middleman, no bureaucracy to deal with, no need to advertise, and no need to deal with anyone outside your own agency. The following are general rules that GSA has proposed.
Proposals Based on the Schedule
If a customer solicits proposals from firms on the Schedule, these are the steps that can be followed:
Step 1: The Customer sends a Task Request to Westat’s AIMS Coordinator or Contractual Representative via fax or email. The request should include Westat’s AIMS Contract Number (GS‑23F‑0155K).
Ms. Alison Soffer, AIMS Coordinator

Fax: 301-738-3500

Ms. Kerry Unsworth, Contractual Representative

Fax: 301-738-3500

Step 2: Westat reviews the request and develops a proposal consisting of two parts: Technical and Price.
Step 3: Westat submits the proposal to the Customer (either letter proposal or oral presentation).
Step 4: The Customer reviews the proposal and makes a best-value determination.
Step 5: If Westat is selected, the Customer issues a delivery order/task order to Westat.
