What is a GSA sale?

Section

If you are selling a contract item to an authorized user and there is no evidence of another contract vehicle in place, the order is considered a GSA sale.
Any one or more of the following may indicate that a sale is a MAS sale:

  • Product or service is on your GSA contract, including items sold under the Order Level Materials (OLM) SIN
  • GSA contract number is stated on the purchase order or task order
  • Ordering information and terms like delivery are the same as your GSA contract
  • Customer made contact with you through GSA Advantage or eBuy
  • Customer pays with the governmentwide commercial purchase card
  • Pricing is at or below the MAS price
  • There is no indication of any other procurement vehicle being used
  • Sales to private company with a Letter of Authorization using FAR 51 

When a government order fits within the MAS contract parameters, the order should be considered a MAS sale unless the ordering agency indicates otherwise. When in doubt, ask the ordering organization if they are using your GSA contract for that order. If you have questions or need further clarification, please talk to your ACO.
