Simplified Acquisitions: FY11 Spending and Simplified Purchases Over $1M [#B2GEDU]

Simplified Acquisitions. How do they play into your strategy?
What exactly is a Simplified Acquisition and why do they matter? How do you pursue these opportunities and are you familiar with how agencies advertise them? Were you aware procurements conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) actually favor small businesses?

During FY2010, over twenty federal agencies issued more than 620,000 Simplified Acquisition contract actions totaling $11,023,147,366.00 (Source: FPDS-NG).
