Office, Imaging and Document

NOTICE: The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program has recently experienced a tremendous increase in new offers. Due to the large number of new offers currently in process, it could take several months before your offer is evaluated.



GSA's practice is to evaluate offers in the order in which they are received. However, GSA may give priority to processing certain offers when circumstances dictate, such as when a federal agency Contracting Officer specifically requests an expedited offer review in order to meet a pending requirement that will be procured under the MAS program, or when there is a need for GSA to bring strategically critical new products or services to market in order to meet federal customer needs.



Please note that SIN 51-508, Litigation Support Service is revised to include paralegal support, eDiscovery and FOIA request requirements.



Please note that there is a new Special Item Number (SIN) under Schedule 36. If your company offers these services, we encourage the addition of this SIN to your contract. The description for SIN 51-500 - Managed Print Services is as follows:



SIN 51-500 Managed Print Services

Managed Print Services (MPS) includes equipment and services required to manage imaging output that may include printing, scanning, copying, and fax devices in a system that monitors and reports status, needs and usage trends on regular basis. The MPS plan may be based on a needs analysis completed under SIN 51-501. Services may include but are not limited to creating a business plan solution that incorporates recommendations for each existing piece of equipment (including removing/retirement/recycling/disposal). The plan may be phased to allow for an orderly progression to the new output environment. The plan should take into account the usage and floor plan of the equipment.
