In August, the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) will refresh the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) solicitation to:

Implement Section 889 Part B of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act by incorporating FAR clause 52.204-25
Update the offeror instructions outlined in SCP-FSS-001 provision regarding AbilityOne Essentially the Same (ETS) items and demonstrating past performance under Technical Factor Two Past Performance
Incorporate clause, provision and solicitation updates, as applicable

Contractors will have 90 days to accept this mass modification (mass mod). Orders may not be placed under the contract until the contract is modified to incorporate FAR clause 52.204-25.

GSA FAS will issue a bilateral modification to apply these changes to existing MAS contracts. A summary of the changes and draft text of all updated clauses and provisions not accessible in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) can be found in the PDF attachment below titled “Draft Significant Changes.”
