Eligible agencies can order on Multiple Award Schedule by issuing an RFI or RFQ to vendors through eBuy and GSA Advantage.
State, local, territorial, and tribal governments may be able to purchase through Cooperative Purchasing and Disaster Purchasing Programs.
You can combine SINs to meet your requirements, and may have the option to set-aside the requirement for one or more socio-economic categories. Use eLibrary’s HACS contractor page to filter vendors by set-aside; select your specified socio-economic designation (such as SBA Certified 8(a) Firm) and search. Specify set-asides and any other qualified requirements (like scope and mandatory knowledge) in the solicitation.
Blanket Purchase Agreements are a great option for recurring needs and can help your agency meet strategic sourcing, compliance requirements, and socio-economic goals. You can establish a blanket purchase agreement with MAS contractors using the authority and instructions under FAR 8.405-3.
