Multiple Award Schedules

Based on customer feedback, GSA is making several changes to Special Item Numbers (SINs) in the Office Management and Human Capital large categories on the new consolidated Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) for products, services, and solutions. For more information, please join us for a webinar on Friday, June 26, 2020. There will be a question and answer segment.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for certain critical and essential supply items has increased to the point that many MAS contractors are unable to meet Federal demands with TAA compliant products. To address this, the GSA Senior Procurement Executive (SPE) has issued a Class Determination and Findings (D&F) citing non-availability as the basis for temporarily allowing the procurement of non-TAA compliant products under FSS MAS contracts for certain Federal Supply Classes (FSCs). FSCs are Product Service Codes (PSCs) that define a category of products or services that the government purchases.
