Introducing the New GSA Professional Services Schedule

/in , , /by

As one of several professional services category initiatives, GSA announced in September 2014 its intention to consolidate Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) service offerings over the next year under the new Professional Services Schedule (PSS).

GSA has over 4,400 professional services contracts across eight different schedules. This migration of services Schedules is the most significant change to the GSA Schedules Program in recent years. The Professional Services Schedule (PSS) migration affects prospective and existing GSA Schedule Contract holders for the GSA Schedules listed below.

The Professional Services Schedule (PSS) migration affects prospective and existing GSA Schedule Contract holders for the GSA Schedules listed below.

  • MOBIS Schedule 874
  • PES Schedule 871
  • FABS Schedule 520
  • AIMS Schedule 541
  • LOGWORLD Schedule 874 V
  • Environmental Schedule 899
  • Language Schedule 738 II

The scope of the various Schedules frequently overlaps, which has caused confusion about which MAS is the best fit for a federal agency’s requirements and acquisition objectives. Service acquisitions are increasingly complex and demand a total solution that may involve several different Schedule offerings.

In addition, multiple MAS contracts for services have also presented challenges for GSA contract holders, with many managing multiple MAS contracts. Currently, there are approximately 527 contractors who hold more than one professional service Schedule contract. Their contracts are negotiated independently, managed independently, and audited independently, costing both contractors and GSA scarce contract administration resources.

Migration has already begun for many of these 527 contractors to roll their multiple GSA service contracts under the new PSS.
