More changes are coming for GSA Schedule contractors—GSA will introduce a new consolidated Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause in Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation Refresh #29. Once added to the solicitation, this clause will replace and eliminate the legacy EPA clauses 552.216-70 and I-FSS-969. With this change, GSA hopes to make price changes more standard across the MAS Program, and give Contracting Officers (COs) as well as contractors more flexibility in GSA Schedule pricing.

Obtaining a GSA Schedule contract makes your company eligible to sell your products and services to the government, and grants you access to a more targeted and less competitive marketplace. Federal buyers often prioritize vendors with GSA Schedule contracts, seeking their commercial products and services before looking elsewhere. With the changes the new administration is making, agencies will be relying on pre-existing commercial vehicles even more, especially the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) has been the foundation of federal contracting for over four decades, and the government is looking to completely overhaul it for the first time since its creation. More commonly referred to as the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), the Trump Administration plans to take a magnifying glass to FAR regulations and return it to its “statutory roots”. According to an Executive Order (EO) released in April 2025, the new administration plans to modify the FAR so it’s written in plain language and mostly scrubbed of non-statutory rules. This is not the first time a presidential administration has set out to review the FAR in its entirety, but GSA is sure that this time is different with the added support of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
