The General Services Administration has launched a website that is designed to help companies start offering products and services to government agencies via GSA’s contract vehicles known as Multiple Award Schedules.
GSA said Thursday the MAS Roadmap website is part of the agency’s Making It Easier initiative that aims to give companies of all sizes the tools they need to do business with government.
The MAS Roadmap is based on the IT Schedule 70 Plain Language Roadmap and is designed to provide a step-by-step guide on how to join GSA Schedules.
GSA initiated the MIE project in 2016 to address industry feedback on the complexity of becoming a vendor under MAS.
The agency previously worked to build MIE tools for the Schedule 70 procurement vehicle for IT goods and services.
