GSA has put together a step by step resource for all prospective MAS contractors: the MAS Roadmap.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program is the premier contract vehicle for the federal government. The MAS program is a long-term governmentwide contract between commercial suppliers and the federal government.

Suppliers give federal, and in some cases state and local buyers (including tribal governments and some educational institutions), access to millions of commercial products and services at negotiated ceiling prices. 

GSA’s Commercial Platforms Program (CPP) provides GPC cardholders at participating agencies access to eight commercial online marketplaces. Each platform supports federal and agency purchasing needs for routine commercial items, with a strong emphasis on modern user experiences and commercial best practices.

GSA offers various solutions for all transportation, relocation, and other vehicle needs. The automotive program is the mandatory source for the purchase of federal agency vehicles. By leveraging the government's large procurement volume, GSA is able to procure more than 60,000 vehicles annually at substantial savings to the government.

GSA manages the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) Program.

GSA Global Supply provides easy and flexible requisition-based ordering for office supplies, tools, computer products, safety gear and cleaning products. GSA Global Supply provides approximately 400,000 products to federal civilian and military customers through a variety of ordering mechanisms (i.e., phone, fax, online, FEDSTRIP/MILSTRIP). 

The Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) Program is the result of a partnership between the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the General Services Administration (GSA).

OASIS and OASIS Small Business (SB) are a family of 7 separate governmentwide multiple award, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that provide flexible and innovative solutions for complex professional services.  

As the premier acquisition agency for the federal government, GSA offers several contracting programs to help agencies get what they need. As a potential contractor, you should familiarize yourself with the programs offered to ensure you provide the most appropriate contract vehicle based on the products and services you offer. Some programs may be more relevant or beneficial to your company than others, so be sure to research the options. 

The GSA Schedule, also known as Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), and Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), is a long-term governmentwide contract that allows commercial companies to do business with the government by providing access to millions of commercial products and services at fair and reasonable prices. MAS makes buying easy and efficient, helping both government and industry save time and money.

Schedule policy and procedures are guided by two major governing regulatory documents:
