Course Introduction

Welcome to GSA’s Using Multiple Award Schedules: An Overview training. This course is designed for the federal 1102 community working in both civilian and military agencies.

The target audience for this training is contracting professionals at all levels who seek to gain understanding or strengthen their knowledge of Federal Supply Schedules contracting and ordering procedures.

This course will cover the procedures for placing orders for supplies and services against Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) as outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 8.4. Other parts of the FAR that are applicable to orders placed against Schedules will be referenced as necessary. This course is not a course in general FAR procedure such as protests, acquisition planning, preparation of statements of work, and contract files management, but will discuss these topics as they relate to Schedules contracting and ordering procedures.
