A-Frame Solutions Heads to NCMA World Congress 2026 in Orlando
The team showcases ArcTracker at Booth 327, and CEO David Zhang joins GSA and NITAAC leaders on a panel on designing and executing high-impact federal contracts. July 26–29 in Orlando, FL.
ORLANDO, FL – July 2026 – A-Frame Solutions will exhibit and present at the NCMA World Congress 2026, the National Contract Management Association's flagship gathering of federal acquisition and contract management professionals, running July 26–29 in Orlando. The company — founded by former federal Contracting Officers — will be at Booth 327 for the full conference.
Federal contracts keep getting larger and more complex, while many acquisition teams still manage performance in spreadsheets that go stale the moment they're saved — deliverables, option deadlines, milestones, and approvals scattered across email and memory. That gap is what A-Frame builds against, and it's the throughline of the company's presence at World Congress.
At the booth: ArcTracker for federal acquisition teams
At Booth 327, A-Frame will demonstrate ArcTracker — the part of the ArcSuite AI platform that gives federal program and acquisition offices one place to track contract performance, milestones, deliverables, and approvals across an entire portfolio, replacing the patchwork of spreadsheets and inbox threads most teams rely on today. Attendees can see a live walkthrough and talk through their own tracking challenges directly with the former COs who built it.
On stage: lessons from large-scale federal procurements
A-Frame has supported NIH/NITAAC's Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) since 2021 — direct, current experience with exactly the kind of large, multi-award vehicles this session examines. On the final morning of the conference, A-Frame CEO David Zhang joins two senior federal acquisition leaders for a session drawing practical lessons from one of the decade's most-watched procurements:
Rather than dwelling on what went wrong when the CIO-SP4 GWAC was cancelled, the panel focuses on what acquisition professionals can do differently on the next large-scale, multi-award vehicle. Key themes include:
- Why the solicitation question-and-answer period carries more weight than teams typically give it
- The case for early industry engagement on massive requirements
- Planning for prolonged protest and documenting every procurement and evaluation decision
- Designing evaluation criteria that are both ambitious and executable
"I spent years on the government side watching good teams get buried in the mechanics of running a contract instead of the substance of it. Whether it's a single award or a multi-billion-dollar vehicle, the same things break — and most of them are fixable. That's what we're at World Congress to talk about, and what we built our tools to help with."
