If you hold a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, there’s more to keeping it than just winning federal orders. While the MAS Program is a well-known vehicle for connecting with federal buyers, you also have a great opportunity to sell to state, local, and educational (SLED) entities with your GSA Schedule. For contractors who are struggling to reach their minimum sales requirement or those who want a stronger sales pipeline, state and local purchasing programs within the MAS program can be an untapped market. The two main programs we’ll discuss in this blog are Disaster Purchasing and Cooperative Purchasing, but we’ll also mention other additional programs you may be eligible for as a GSA MAS contractor.

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.

Keeping up with your GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is important now more than ever. GSA is looking for ways to cut costs and increase efficiency, and contractors who are not maintaining contract compliance or meeting their minimum sales requirement are at risk of contract cancellation. While this has always been a risk, GSA is really cracking down on contractors who are not succeeding in the MAS Program.

Small Businesses must utilize every possible advantage they can get to stand out and be visible to government buyers. One aspect of this has been the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database. However, many users found the previous search engine outdated and clunky to use.

Both the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program and the OASIS+ contract vehicle have been getting a lot of attention in the professional services sphere of the government. The procurement arm of GSA is predicted to quadruple in size with the recent Executive Orders (EOs) expanding the MAS Program, and the OASIS+ contract vehicle is looking to on-ramp more contractors and expand the scope in Phase II. With both professional services vehicles set for success, you may be wondering if it’s necessary to get on both these vehicles, or where the opportunities will end up. Some contractors may also be wondering if OASIS+ will eventually merge with MAS and if it’s worth the proposal effort.

When a contractor is submitting a GSA Schedule contract offer, there are several components to complete, one of which is the Price Proposal Template (PPT). This template is a crucial part of the pricing section, where the majority of your offer will be presented. The Services and Training Price Proposal Template outlines your entire schedule in a spreadsheet format. Contractors should be aware that there are different versions of the PPT, specifically the products version and the services version. This blog focuses on everything you need to know regarding the services PPT, which differs significantly from the products version.
