Understanding GSA MAS (Multiple Award Schedules)

Want to get your product or service on the GSA Schedule and having trouble trying to stay current with the recent GSA Schedule market changes? Is your company tired of chasing down and keeping abreast Government contracts changes? The Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) Consolidation initiative, effective October 1st, 2019 included 24 GSA-Managed schedules. This consolidation made it easier for the Government to find your business and also made it easier for you to find work. Organized by large categories, subcategories, and SINs, it is important to understand both how to structure your application and understand the terms & conditions.
Course Objective: Students will learn the fundamentals of submitting a successful proposal to the General Services Administration. Students will learn where to find the GSA Multiple Award schedule and what they have to do to submit a compliant proposal. Neither the Virginia PTAC nor the instructor can make any guarantee that the Government will actually issue a contract to the student’s company, but all the preliminary instruction will be provided.

Instructor Gregory D. Ayres is a retired Army Medical Service Corps officer who worked with both large and small companies to develop GSA schedules. In 2000 Mr. Ayres founded a consulting firm to assist small business to qualify for GSA Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) and grow their revenue. To date he has taught more than 80 single and multi-day training classes to more than 375 small companies.  He has assisted with the development of more than 150 successful individual schedules awards and modifications through his consulting firm and has a 99% schedule award rate.
