GSA has put together a step by step resource for all prospective MAS contractors: the MAS Roadmap.
Using the Roadmap, you will learn how to send an offer to sell commercial products and services under the MAS Program. To be considered for a MAS contract, you’ll need to give accurate and complete information that describes your company, experience, and commercial products and services. All this information sent together in an electronic package through our eOffer system will make up your offer.
The Roadmap outlines three steps to submit an offer:
- Get Ready: This step includes mandatory training, registration, and understanding the MAS solicitation and your unique category requirements.
- Assemble Offer: This step includes completing required forms and compiling important company information, such as financial statements, technical proposals, and pricing plans.
- Finalize Offer: This step includes directions on using eOffer to submit your completed offer, negotiation, and selling.
Visit each page and follow each step carefully in order to successfully submit a finalized offer to become a MAS contractor.
Once submitted, a GSA contracting representative will be assigned to review and evaluate your offer.
GSA tries to award offers efficiently and effectively. However, complete review, potential negotiations, and award may take up to 12 months. Submission of an offer does not guarantee the award of a MAS contract. Keep the following in mind:
- Complete, well-documented offers with competitive pricing are easier and faster to review.
- Getting a contract does not guarantee your company will receive orders. You still need to market your business -- see the “Sell” section of this guide.
