Learn how GSA and NARA collaborated to expand Schedule 36 Records Management Solutions & what steps are necessary to incorporate the changes into your GSA contract.
As technology has evolved and federal space has been reduced, the Federal need for managing both physical and electronic records has grown in scale and complexity. In response to these challenges and to help agencies comply with Federal records management statutes and regulations, GSA's Integrated Workplace Acquisition Center (IWAC) has partnered with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to revise SIN 51 504 under Schedule 36. In addition, SIN 51 600 was developed to specifically address Electronic Records Management Solutions. The revisions to SIN 51 504 and SIN 51 600 went into effect on 10/1/2017. Vendors are now permitted to apply these changes to their existing Schedule 36 contract or submit a new proposal under Schedule 36 to offer these services.
NARA will discuss their Federal Electronic Records Modernization Initiative (FERMI) and the steps they have taken to develop a comprehensive Federal records management procurement strategy. They will discuss how FERMI supports NARA’s Strategic Plan and all Federal agencies in the transition to a digital government. They will also cover the process of creating the Universal ERM Requirements and their integration with the new ERM SIN under Schedule 36.
GSA will identify the necessary steps for contractors to incorporate the changes into their GSA schedule contracts, for both the revised SIN and the new ERM SIN. In addition, they will discuss the process for obtaining a contract under schedule 36 for those vendors who do not already hold a GSA contract. There will also be a question and answer session with both NARA and GSA representatives.
In this 2-hour session you can expect to:
- Learn about NARA Universal ERM Requirements
- Get updates on recent enhancements to Schedule 36
- Learn the necessary steps to incorporate the new changes into your contract
- Learn how these changes affect government customers and how they’ve reacted to the recent changes.

UPDATE TO REQUIREMENTS
Please be advised that that the Implementation Instructions pertaining to the refresh of GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 36 have changed. The Implementation Instructions previously shown for the new SIN 51 600 now apply only to Electronic Records Management vendors applying for the new SIN 51 600. This is done on an individual basis at the order level. Also, the Vendor Certification procedure detailed in the refresh applies ONLY to Electronic Records Management vendors applying for the new SIN 51 600.
As a reminder, under SIN 51 504 Physical Records Management, Federal agencies must certify to NARA that a Commercial Records Storage Facility or an agency’s own records center meets the 36 CFR 1234 standards. Commercial Records Storage Facility Vendors cannot self-certify.
