Under the GSA Schedules (Multiple Award Schedules) Program, GSA establishes long-term government-wide contracts with commercial firms to provide ordering offices with access to over 4 million commercial services and products that can be ordered directly from GSA Schedule contractors or through the GSA Advantage! online shopping and ordering system.

GSA Schedules provide customers with millions of state-of-the-art, high-quality commercial services and products at volume discount pricing on a direct-delivery basis. All customers, even those in remote locations, are provided with the latest technology, quality services and products, convenience, and most-favored customer pricing. GSA Schedules also offer the potential benefits of shorter lead-times, lower administrative costs, and reduced inventories, including significant opportunities for agencies to meet small business goals, while promoting compliance with various environmental and socioeconomic laws and regulations.

GSA Schedules offer several features and advantages such as:

• Blanket Purchase Agreements
• Contractor Team Arrangements
• Price Reductions
• New Technology
• Continuous Open Seasons
• Evergreen Contracts
• Worldwide Coverage
• Purchase Card Acceptance
• Environmental Programs/Identification
• Section 508 information on electronic and information technology

When orders are placed against a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, using the procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.4, they are considered to be issued using full and open competition (see FAR 6.102(d)(3)). Ordering offices need not seek further competition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business programs. By placing an order against a GSA Schedule contract using the procedures in this section, the ordering office has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the government's needs.
