The OCIO and BCP’s Division of Consumer and Business Education require the purchase of Satori Software’s Architect API for integration with the agency’s Bulk Order website.  Bulk Order is used by the public to order free FTC publications and literature.  Satori Architect validates mailing addresses using up-to-date information provided by the U.S. Postal Service.  The use of the Satori API will allow the Bulk Order system to contain clean data without intervention from staff.  Additionally, the GSA distribution center that fulfills orders from FTC uses the Satori software platform and the FTC’s purchase will allow the two systems to be integrated.

The market research team did research to determine if the product is available on a GSA schedule or through other government contracting vehicles and/or resellers.  The team could not find any evidence that the product is offered on GSA schedule or through direct resellers.
