Best-in-Class GSA Multiple Award Schedule

MAS PROGRAM AND FEATURES

The General Services Administration (GSA) manages the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract, also known as GSA Schedule, Federal Supply Schedule, and GSA Contract. It is an IDIQ contract with an arbitrary delivery and indeterminate quantity (IDIQ) that can help to deliver the latest technological solutions from small businesses to federal agencies.

The GSA Schedule was created to make it easier for government agencies to buy technology goods and services. The pre-negotiated rates, delivery schedules, warranties, and other stipulations and terms contained in the contracts simplify the purchasing process.

Any federal agency may use the CCT GSA Schedule Contract, and the same contact can be used across agencies. Also, the contract’s period is fixed, but the deliverables to a federal agency are not. On top of that, CCT is a Federal Agile DevSecOps Partner for Amazon AWS.

Deep Learning

According to one recent study, every person will generate about 1.7 megabytes of new data every single second. But at the same time, data on its own is meaningless. It’s little more than a series of countless 1s and 0s sitting on a hard drive somewhere. What you need is a way to make sense of that data – analyzing it in a way that uncovers the true story hidden underneath. Common agile tools we use include TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, Theano, and Caffe.

Cloud Security

This type of agile cloud-based environment brings with it a number of key advantages, like the fact that people can work from anywhere and communication and collaboration have never been easier. But it also dramatically increases the potential attack surface of your business, too – there are simply more ways for you to fall victim to a cyber attacker than there were even a decade ago. Every device connected to the web is a potential vulnerability just waiting to be taken advantage of by someone who knows what they’re doing.

We’ll also discuss industry trends and future predictions that shape how these technologies can be effectively deployed. The Role of AI in Community Centers Artificial intelligence is reshaping how local community centers engage with their communities. By implementing AI integration strategies, these organizations can enhance service delivery, streamline operations, and make data-driven decisions that align with evolving community needs. Enhancing Community Engagement through AI AI technologies offer innovative ways to improve engagement at community centers. Through personalized interactions facilitated by chatbots powered by tools like IBM Watson, AI enhances the accessibility of services. By tailoring content based on user preferences and behaviors, AI creates a more inviting atmosphere for community members. For instance, AI can analyze demographic data to suggest events that align with interests or provide language translation services in real-time to bridge communication gaps. Moreover, MIT Media Lab’s research underscores how AI can predict patterns in service demand, allowing community centers to better allocate resources. This predictive capability ensures that centers are not only responsive but also proactive in meeting the needs of their communities. By analyzing historical data and current trends, these tools can forecast peak times for services such as computer labs or after-school programs, enabling centers to adjust staffing and resource allocation accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

On sometimes, a government agency’s requirements can only be met by one contractor. These agreements are known as sole source contracts. Although they are less typical in the GSA Schedules program, sole source agreements do exist. However, the sole source requirements of FAR Part 6 are not applicable to orders placed under GSA Schedule contracts.

When making purchases against the GSA Schedule program, government acquisition professionals must follow the steps outlined in FAR 8.4. FAR 8.4 specifically addresses:

  1. Contracts’ descriptions
  2. Employing methods for ordering goods and services that don’t need a Statement of Work (SOW)
  3. Employing and placing orders for services needing a SOW
  4. Contractor teaming arrangements, and blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for repeat purchases (CTA)
  5. Documentation for a fair opportunity, competitive requirements, determining best value, and source selection
With the help of pre-negotiated better pricing, the GSA arranges long-term government-wide deals with commercial companies through the GSA Schedules Program, lowering the administrative costs associated with government agencies’ purchases of products and services.
The GSA Schedule Contract scope includes IT hardware, IT services, IT software, and IT solutions. These include cloud solutions and agile software development.
Contracts under the GSA Schedule have a five-year base period and three additional five-year optional periods. Delivery or task orders are issued by ordering operations under the GSA Schedule deal. Orders must be placed while the Schedule contract is still in force. Orders placed during the effective period but weren’t finished during that time frame must be finished within the time frame stated in the order. However, the “period designated” cannot extend past the expiration of the Schedule contract by more than 60 months.

Only if the company awarded the order depicted its status as small for the underlying Multiple Award contracts for the same NAICS code as that assigned to the order—and provided recertification was neither necessary nor had taken place for the contract or order—would agencies be eligible for small business credit.

Agencies can use the GSA eLibrary and GSA Advantage to look up prospective contractors and determine which ones can offer the goods and/or services they need. Your agency reports contract activities in the Federal Procurement Database System after the award to collect socioeconomic credit (FPDS).

Even if it leaves the GSA Schedule program, a FAR 8.4 contractor may continue to receive new orders under the GSA Schedule Contract. The original GSA Schedule program contract has been accepted by SBA and is valid for the whole duration of the contract.
