GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)

The GSA MAS platform is the first stop for most agencies and is your best option for being visible as a vendor. SelectGCR can help you register and make sure you are positioned to get noticed.

The Express Lane of Federal Contracting

Why the GSA MAS Contract Matters Now

Federal procurement is consolidating. For years, agencies sourced goods and services through a patchwork of open-market buys, agency-specific vehicles, and GWACs. Today, that landscape is narrowing—federal policy now directs buyers to use government-wide contracts like the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) as their first stop.

This means one thing: if you’re not on MAS, you risk being invisible as opportunities shift into streamlined buying channels.

Why This Matters to You
\

Policy-Driven Priority:

OMB directs agencies to use GSA MAS first for common goods and services. Exceptions require senior-level approval.

\

Buyer Behavior:

Contracting officers now look to GSA Advantage, eLibrary, and eBuy before posting RFQs anywhere else. If you’re not there, you’re not part of the competition.

\

Market Momentum:

Guidance continues to push agencies toward Best-in-Class and MAS contracts. The trendline is clear—MAS isn’t optional, it’s becoming essential.

What MAS Offers Vendors
\

Visibility Where Buying Starts

MAS is the marketplace of record. Buyers search MAS first.

\

Speed to Award

RFQs on eBuy can close in as little as 48 hours. Only vendors on Schedule see them.

\

Compliance Built-In

MAS is the “easy button” for agencies under current procurement rules.

Maximize Your Visibility

The Urgency is Real

Every month you wait is another month of missed opportunities.

    R

    Queues are Growing:

    As policy tightens, more vendors flood into MAS, making evaluations longer.

    R

    Opportunities are Posting Now:

    Task orders continue to post daily—with deadlines too short for vendors still stuck in the application process.

    Think of MAS as the turnstile. You can’t compete for what you can’t access.

    Where MAS Makes the Biggest Impact

    MAS is especially strategic if your offerings fall into these high-demand categories:

    • IT Solutions
    • Professional Services
    • Office & Facility Supplies
    • Medical & Security Products

    These categories represent billions in consolidated federal spend—and they are where MAS vendors have the greatest advantage.

    How to Get Ready

    A competitive MAS offer requires more than paperwork. You’ll need:

    • The right Special Item Numbers (SINs) mapped to your offerings
    • Completion of GSA’s required vendor training
    • Defensible, fair, and reasonable pricing backed by commercial data
    • Strong past performance records and compliant documentation

    And beyond the minimums—success on MAS means planning for the future:

    • Search-optimized labor categories and product descriptions
    • A rapid-response approach to short-turnaround RFQs

    Bottom Line

    Opportunity

    Federal buying is consolidating, and MAS is the express lane. For vendors, being on Schedule is no longer just a competitive advantage—it’s becoming a requirement.

    If you’ve considered MAS before, now is the time to act. Getting on Schedule ensures your company is positioned exactly where federal buyers are directed to look.
