MAS Consolidation Impacts to eTools __________________
Purpose: The purpose of MAS Consolidation is to transition all current 24 legacy solicitation Multiple Award Schedules contracts into one consolidated Multiple Award Schedule.
Why is GSA doing MAS Consolidation?● Consolidating GSA’s Schedules reduces contract duplication and increase competition in the federal
marketplace - contractors are able to offer all products on a single Schedule.
● The single Schedule has one set of terms and conditions, ensuring more consistency in contracting practices.
● Industry now has a single entry point for the Schedules program. They no longer have to manage multiple
Schedules, reducing administrative costs and making their selling experience less burdensome.
● Consolidating to one Schedule provides greater flexibility and speed to market.
● Companies can get new, innovative products and solutions into federal agencies’ hands quickly and securely.
What is MAS Consolidation?
Mass Mod: GSA began releasing a formal Mass Mod to all current contractors on Jan 31, 2020. This enables contractors to transition their contracts from the legacy based Schedule/SIN structure to the new MAS SIN structure.
● This mass mod is administrative in nature, amounting to just a change in the solicitation number, the number of the Schedule, the name of the Schedule, and the structure of the offerings (Large Category, Subcategory, and SIN).
● This modification does not change the contract number, products under the contract, pricing, period of performance, or other terms and conditions.
● Once the mass mod is signed, contractors must submit a new catalog file (via SIP/EDI) within 30 days in order
to revise any references to legacy Schedule structure. Contractors must sign a mass mod for each contract
they hold.
● Contractors have until July 31st to sign the mass mod and transition to the new MAS consolidated Schedule.
○ If the mass mod is not signed by July 31, contractors will be temporarily suspended from view and
access to our eTools (Advantage and eBuy).
Mass Modification
Impacts to Contractors

● Once a contractor accepts the new mass mod:
○ GSA will delete all current awarded legacy SINs on their contract;
○ and simultaneously award new MAS SINs using on the crosswalk table.
New Contractors
● GSA began awarding new offerors under the new MAS consolidated solicitation on Feb 8th.
● New contractors are being awarded SINs under the new MAS consolidated Schedule only.
