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 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).
