GSA’s website is full of information about the contract award process, but interviews with vendors tell us many find the Federal Acquisition Service’s (FAS) pages jargon-heavy and hard to navigate, with information not appearing where it would be most useful. Many also say they find the process of getting on the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) very confusing. This is an obvious barrier for new companies trying to do business with the government, and seems to be hitting small and innovative ones especially hard.

GSA will be hosting a virtual industry meeting for MRO and JanSan schedule holders and potential industry partners regarding the second generation Purchasing Channel solutions (Tentative Award: FY2018). This event to take place on October 11, 2017 at 11am-12pm EST/10am-11am CST.

This event is being held in order to summarize, at a high level, the goals and key strategies for the second generation solutions as well as solicit and receive additional industry feedback.  This event will be one-hour long.
