GSA MAS Pre-Award Support

Alliant 2 Contract Services that Help You Win More Task Orders on GSA’s Premier IT Contract Vehicle

A Major Federal Procurement Channel

The GSA MAS contract is the longest-running and most prominent contract vehicle managed by the General Services Administration, representing a major channel for federal procurement of commercial products and services.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), formerly known as the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) or GSA Schedule, is a long-term government-wide contract vehicle managed by the U.S. General Services Administration. It is updated regularly, and allows federal, state, and local agencies to purchase a wide range of commercial products, services, and solutions directly from pre-vetted contractors at pre-negotiated prices. The MAS program streamlines the procurement process by eliminating the need for individual agencies to go through full and open competition for each acquisition, offering efficiency, cost savings, and compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8.4.

The MAS contract is divided into 12 large categories—such as Information Technology, Professional Services, Facilities, Security, and Transportation—each further broken into Special Item Numbers (SINs) that align with specific goods or services. To obtain a MAS contract, vendors must go through a rigorous application process that includes demonstrating past performance, competitive pricing, and financial responsibility. Once awarded, contractors can market their offerings through GSA Advantage! and are eligible to compete for task orders under their awarded SINs. The MAS contract is a key gateway for vendors seeking to do business with the federal government, representing billions of dollars in annual spending.
