Multiple Award Schedule

Big News! General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Case 2013-G502 Federal Supply Schedule Contracting (Administrative Changes) has been published as a final rule and became effective May 23, 2019. This final rule radically streamlines the GSA Schedules Program clauses and provisions. This initiative has been years in the making and brings additional transparency, efficiency, and clarity to the GSA Schedule Program.

Today, GSA announced it will modernize federal acquisition by consolidating the agency’s 24 Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) into one single Schedule for products and services. The single Schedule will have one set of terms and conditions, ensuring more consistency in contracting practices. The MAS transformation is part of GSA’s Federal Marketplace strategy to make the government buying and selling experience easy, efficient and modern. It supports GSA’s strategic goal to establish the agency as the premier provider of efficient and effective acquisition solutions across the government.

GSA’s first Federal Marketplace (FMP) Strategy release is now available!
