Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)
The Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), also known as the Federal Supply Schedule, is a comprehensive governmentwide acquisition contract vehicle administered by the General Services Administration (GSA) to streamline procurement for federal agencies. The solicitation indicates that GSA consolidated 24 previously separate schedules into a single, more intuitive solicitation to improve efficiency, reduce acquisition cycle times, and simplify contract terms. This consolidation aims to make it easier for industry to do business with federal, state, and local governments by creating a more accessible and standardized contracting mechanism that spans a wide range of products, services, and solutions across multiple industry sectors.
The task orders under this MAS vehicle demonstrate remarkable diversity, spanning sectors such as scientific equipment, IT infrastructure, vehicle rentals, security services, laboratory support, and facility management. Typical contract values range from approximately $10,000 to over $10 million, with performance periods commonly spanning 1-5 years. Frequently winning prime contractors include both large enterprises like Carahsoft Technology Corp, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and KPMG, as well as small businesses like Astrix Technology Group, Vertical Jobs, and GMG Management Consulting. The contracts are predominantly awarded to civilian agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, Department of Veterans Affairs, General Services Administration, and various Department of Defense components. While most awards do not utilize set-aside designations, a notable subset are designated for small businesses, women-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and minority-owned enterprises. Performance locations are geographically dispersed, with significant concentrations near federal facilities in states like Virginia, Maryland, California, and Washington.
