In the recently released Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation Refresh #28, GSA restructured the requirements for new offerors or existing contractors proposing products that they do not manufacture, and instead, resell. Prior to this Solicitation Refresh, new offerors or current contractors adding products they did not manufacture to their GSA Schedule contract or proposal were required to submit a Letter of Supply to demonstrate they have the authority to distribute these products. However, GSA has now restricted the Letter of Supply requirement to only resellers under Large Category F (Information Technology) and the Printing and Photographic Equipment Subcategory within Large Category A (Office Management).

As a GSA Schedule contractor, keeping up with Mass Modifications is one of the many contract compliance responsibilities you’ll have during the life of your contract. Mass Modifications can be a common source of confusion for contractors, especially when they receive one in their inbox without much context. Since these modifications are initiated by GSA, it can be unclear what their purpose or impact on your contract is, compared to traditional contractor-initiated modifications.

In his first six months in office, President Trump has made it clear that a major priority of his second term is to eliminate waste in government spending. The Trump Administration has enacted a plethora of new policies aimed at streamlining government contracting, many of which have a direct impact on GSA. With so many changes in such a short period of time, it can be hard for contractors to keep up. That’s why in this blog, we’ll go over the most important new policies and their impact on current GSA Schedule contractors.

Whether you’ve been a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractor for a few months or several years, you’re no stranger to changes within GSA by now. GSA often pushes out regular updates to the MAS Solicitation, but with the Trump Administration enacting major changes to federal procurement, we are seeing a lot of Solicitation Refreshes. The newest MAS Refresh #29 is expected to be released by the end of August 2025. Once it’s out, you’ll need to review and accept the Mass Modification within 90 days, so here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming changes to the Solicitation.

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).
