CAAS

Contract Advisory and Assistance Services encompass professional support services that assist government agencies with acquisition planning, contract management, and procurement operations. CAAS contractors provide expertise in areas such as market research, requirements development, source selection support, and contract administration.

CAAS work must carefully navigate organizational conflict of interest restrictions, as contractors providing acquisition support may be precluded from competing for the contracts they helped develop. Agencies rely on CAAS contractors to augment their acquisition workforce, particularly for complex or specialized procurements requiring expertise beyond organic capabilities.
