GSA's Disaster Purchasing Program allows state and local governments to buy supplies and services directly from the GSA Schedule to facilitate disaster preparation, response, or major disaster recovery.

The Cooperative Purchasing Program allows state, local, and tribal governments to purchase IT, security, and law enforcement products and services offered through specific Schedule Special Item Numbers (SINs).

The AbilityOne® Program is among the nation's largest sources of employment for people who are blind or have significant disabilities. The program is administered by the U.S. AbilityOne Commission, the operating name for the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled.

The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) connects small businesses with people and resources to help them grow. Visit this web resource for more information.

Additionally, GSA created the Forecast of Contracting Opportunities Tool, which helps small businesses identify potential federal contracting opportunities. Learn more here.

Purchases made by the federal government must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which governs all federal acquisitions. There are a variety of different ways that agencies can comply with these regulations and a variety of contract types to match.

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.
