    IMPORTANT: GSA MAS Consolidation Moves Into Final Phase to Consolidate All Contractors Down to One Contract
    We are pleased to announce that today GSA begins Phase 3 of Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Consolidation. This requires all current contractors with more than one contract to consolidate their offerings down to one contract per unique entity identifier (UEI), e.g. Data Universal Numbers System (DUNS) number. This final phase of MAS Consolidation begins as Phase 2 officially closed on July 31, 2020 with 99% of contractors having signed the Mass Mod by the deadline.

    The New World of the Multiple Award Schedule Program
    If your awareness of GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule or MAS program stops with the year 2019 - or earlier - it’s time to give us another look. Our MAS contract vehicle has totally changed since 2019. We’ve modernized federal acquisition and improved the buying experience by consolidating our 24 existing schedules into a single Schedule for products, services, and solutions and addressed a lack of consistency across the Schedules.

Did you know that Other Direct Costs (ODCs) for services may be included in eBuy quotes as either open market items or Order Level Materials (OLMs)? Read the full post for all the details.

    Updates to eBuy and the FAS ID
    Over the weekend of Oct. 10, 2020, the supplier side of GSA’s eBuy platform was updated for security purposes to a two-step, multi-factor authentication (MFA) process using GSA FAS ID - a secure, centralized identity management system that lets users access many GSA applications with one email and password. GSA FAS ID was created as part of our overall IT modernization effort and has already been implemented on the FAS Sales Reporting Portal (SRP), GSA Advantage Purchase Order Portal, GSA Vendor Portal, and the Mass Mod Portal.
