FSSI Office Supplies Strategic Sourcing Solution Third Generation (OS3)

GSA Federal Acquisition Service established this Master GSA Schedule for general office supplies, paper, toner, and ink on August 8, 2014, but ordering closed on December 9, 2019 — the vehicle is no longer accepting new orders. The schedule carried a shared ceiling of $3.06 billion.

Over its ordering lifetime, the vehicle generated 4,473 task orders with a combined potential value of $108.3 million, of which $95.9 million (89 percent) has been obligated. Activity has declined sharply post-closure: the schedule averaged 10 orders per year in 2020, dropping to 5 in 2021, 4 in 2022, and just 1 each in 2023 and 2025 as outstanding orders completed. The most recent award was December 2, 2025, for toilet tissue.

Awarded task orders reveal modest scope expansion beyond the stated categories. Core purchases include copier paper and printer consumables (toner, ink cartridges), which dominate by dollar value, alongside office essentials (pens, file folders, notebooks, sticky notes, labels, envelopes, paper clips). Orders also include janitorial and facilities items (trash liners, trash receptacles, paper towels, wipes, mop heads, fire extinguishers, eyewash station cartridges), office equipment (shredders, calculators, dry-erase boards), and media (CD-R, DVD-RW disks). Individual order values typically range from under $100 to roughly $50,000, with the largest award at $46,965 for copy paper to an FCC facility.

Among 20 prime contractors, the top five by order count are Premier & Companies, Inc. (536 orders), Access Products Inc. (512 orders), ASE Direct, Inc. (401 orders), ODP Business Solutions, LLC (377 orders), and Document Imaging Dimensions Inc. (358 orders), collectively holding 49 percent of task orders. By potential value, Document Imaging Dimensions Inc. and ASE Direct, Inc. each command roughly $13 million, with ABM Federal Sales, Inc., MJL Enterprises, LLC, and ODP Business Solutions, LLC each holding $8.8 million to $10.7 million; these five primes represent 51 percent of combined potential value.

Ordering is concentrated among federal customers. GSA Federal Acquisition Service itself placed 506 orders valued at $464 thousand. The Department of Homeland Security agencies dominate: USCIS placed 302 orders worth $15.3 million, Customs and Border Protection 161 orders for $1.8 million, and Transportation Security Administration 112 orders for $2 million. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery placed 226 orders valued at $600 thousand. These top five customer entities represent 29 percent of all task orders. Across all activity, 428 distinct agencies have placed orders.

The schedule is entirely unrestricted; 90 percent of task orders carry no set-aside designation. Small business orders comprise 7 percent, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business orders 3 percent; all other set-aside categories represent less than 1 percent combined. Pricing type across orders is uniformly firm fixed price, with one exception noted (a single order used fixed price with economic price adjustment).

The vehicle is functionally closed for BD purposes. New ordering authority expired more than six years ago, and recent activity consists of final invoice processing on pre-existing orders rather than new procurement windows.
