Federal Acquisition Service 2 Value to the Customer Value: e-Buy gives Federal buyers a faster and more efficient solution to their procurement needs by streamlining the RFQ process into one online system. Example: e-Buy’s paperless system allows buyers to do market research, create RFQs, evaluate and review offers, and award online. Value: e-Buy maximizes buying power by leveraging the power of the Internet to increase Schedule and GWAC contractor participation to obtain quotations that result in best value purchase decisions. Example: “The number of quotes received was outstanding, the ability to analyze the quotes was great, and the best part was the ability to award the contract to the vendor selected and advise the non- selectees with just a few mouse clicks.”-Selfridge Military Air Museum
