Automatic Removal of High Risk Products from GSA Advantage!

Managing My GSA Contract
Topic
Contract Compliance

GSA automatically hides (i.e., suppresses) certain non-compliant products from GSA Advantage that have been verified to pose a high risk to our customers. For example, GSA automatically suppresses products that are manufactured by the five banned Chinese companies that put customers at risk of unauthorized surveillance (see FAR Subpart 4.21). At a later date, GSA coordinates with contractors to remove the products from the MAS contract. GSA automatically hides products that are:

  • A national security threat 
    • Kaspersky Lab (FAR Subpart 4.20)
    • “Section 889” (FAR Subpart 4.21)
    • FASCSA Orders (FAR Subpart 4.22)
    • Obsolete information technology
    • Refurbished items
    • Unmanned Aircraft Systems/Drones (SCP-FSS-001 and/or FAR 52.240-1)
  • Non-Compliant with an Executive Order
    • Executive Order 14151 Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Program and Preferencing.
    • Executive Order 14168 Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. 
    • Executive Order 14208 Ending Procurement and Forced Use of Paper Straws
  • Essentially the same as AbilityOne products
  • Out of scope of the solicitation
