Competitive prices and discounts

GSA negotiates its fair and reasonable prices based on the aggregated buying power of the federal government. We encourage you, the customer, to further negotiate additional price reductions, discounts, and concessions with our industry partners when circumstances warrant (see FAR 8.405-4).

Maximum order threshold

Each Schedule has a maximum order threshold, which varies by Special Item Number. The maximum order threshold is not a limit on spending — industry partners can accept any size order. Rather, it is the dollar amount above which:

• The industry partner can choose not to accept the order.
• A price reduction must be sought.

For MAS Information Technology’s SINs, the maximum order threshold is between $25,000 - $1,000,000. For more information, please review the SIN details and descriptions found in the solicitation.

The IT professional services SIN includes maximum hourly rates. GSA Schedules also permit incremental funding if your agency’s rules allow it.

Flexible contracting and streamlined ordering

GSA Schedules save you time by featuring combined synopses and solicitations. Schedules also make it easier for you to meet Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) requirements (see FAR 6.102(d) (3)).Schedules accept purchase cards and allow task orders and blanket purchase agreements. Industry partners can enhance their offerings and create a total solution through contractor team arrangements. You can also add incidental items (see FAR 8.402). Note: FAR 8.4 is optional for state, local, and tribal customers; learn more about Cooperative Purchasing.

Approved agreements

The terms and conditions in standard commercial agreements may be inconsistent with federal law, exposing the government to risk. GSA contracting officers cannot award contracts or modifications involving products and services without first reviewing and modifying the terms in agreements to make them consistent with federal law.
