Multiple Award Schedules

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Acquisition Center (NAC) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program supports the healthcare requirements of the VA and other federal government agencies (OGA).  In 1981, the VA launched the VA managed FSS program  under  delegated authority by GSA (see FAR 8.402(a)) for multiple award contracts for medical equipment, supply, pharmaceutical, and service Schedule programs.

With annual sales to VA and OGA customers totaling $10 billion, the VA FSS program manages nine Schedule programs and nearly 1,700 contracts.  Like GSA Schedule contracts, the VA Schedules are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts awarded to pre-approved vendors using full and open competition.  Additionally, the FSS program negotiates pricing based on a commercial “most-favored-customer” pricing concept, includes state-of-the-art product/service offerings, and provides national/worldwide coverage.

The VA Schedules program helps our customers realize advanced cost savings, flexibility, choice, and reduced acquisition lead times when purchasing healthcare products and services.  Our vendors enjoy the convenience of selling to the government through a streamlined acquisition vehicle and enhanced business growth opportunities.
