How does the GSA Federal Acquisition Service structure its procurements?

FAS primarily utilizes Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) and Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), which allow agencies to place task or delivery orders against pre-negotiated contracts rather than conducting full and open competitions for every requirement.

What certifications provide a competitive advantage when bidding on FAS contracts?

Holding a GSA Schedule contract is the primary prerequisite for most FAS business. Additionally, socioeconomic certifications such as 8(a) Business Development, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) status are highly valued, as FAS frequently uses these set-asides to meet federal small business utilization goals.

What types of products and services does FAS prioritize for procurement?

FAS focuses on high-volume, repeatable requirements including cloud computing services, cybersecurity software, professional management consulting, fleet management, and office furniture procurement to support the operational backbone of federal agencies.
