Multiple Award Schedule

Attention MAS contractor community! The MAS PMO and National Industrial Operations Analyst (IOA) Program are excited to announce that the MAS Contractor Assessment (CA) Reference Guide is now available for download at the Vendor Support Center.

GSA’s eBuy is a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Request for Information (RFI) system that lets government buyers request information, find sources, and request and receive quotes from GSA contractors who have been awarded a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. 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.

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. 2019 is when the world of the Multiple Award Schedules program began to morph into the Multiple Award Schedule program --- but we did more than just drop an “s” and change our name. Our MAS contract vehicle has totally changed. 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.

Every quarter the Multiple Award Schedule Program Management Office (MAS PMO) publishes a newsletter of all the latest important updates our industry partners need to know. We highly recommend all prospective and current contractors read the updates thoroughly so as to not miss any important deadlines. Our Summer 2020 newsletter, complete with links to important resources, is attached to this Interact post.
