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.

On October 17, 2018, GSA launched its eBuy Open GSA First Pilot aimed at increasing transparency into its business opportunities posted in eBuy, an electronic Request for Quote (RFQ) system.
