“Overview of Category Management, Spend Under Management, Best-in-Class Contracts and GSA Schedules”
2020 has brought about more changes for GSA’s consolidated Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) – the first refresh to the solicitation and the MAS “Phase II” mandatory modification that is converting existing contractors to the new MAS solicitation and Special Item Number (SIN) structure.
The Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) Transformation initiative is one of four cornerstone projects underpinning GSA’s Federal Marketplace Strategy to modernize and simplify the
buying and selling experience for customers, suppliers and acquisition professionals.
GSA will modernize federal acquisition by consolidating the existing 24 Schedules into one single Schedule for products, services, and solutions. This will provide consistency in the
program for all stakeholders, make it easier for customers to find total solutions under one contract vehicle, ensure terms and conditions meet the needs of our customers, and eliminate
duplicate contracts.
