Multiple Award Schedule Advisory

Panel Meetings
U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA) Multiple Award
Schedule Advisory Panel (MAS Panel),
a Federal Advisory Committee, will
hold public meetings on the following
dates: Monday, June 16, 2008; Tuesday,
June 17 2008; Monday, July 21, 2008;
and Monday, August 18, 2008. GSA
utilizes the Schedules program to
establish long-term Governmentwide
contracts with responsible firms to
provide Federal, State, and local
government customers with access to a
wide variety of supplies (products) and
services.
The MAS Panel was established to
develop advice and recommendations
on MAS program pricing policies,
provisions, and procedures in the
context of current commercial pricing
practices. For the next 3 to 4 meeting
dates, the Panel plans to focus on three
areas: (1) STAKEHOLDER
EXPECTATIONS—what are our
stakeholder expectations of the MAS
program; what should be the purpose of
the MAS program; and is it structured
to serve our stakeholder needs; (2)
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES—what
should be the role and responsibilities
of the GSA contracting officer and that
of the ordering agency contracting

duplication at the task order level those
pricing determinations made by the
GSA contracting officer; and, the
management and oversight
responsibilities, such as training and
assuring consistency in policy; and (3)
FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICE
DETERMINATIONS—what are the
stakeholder expectations for schedule
prices; should the GSA contracting

negations result in fair and reasonable
prices; and orders issued in compliance
with FAR 8.4 ordering procedures result
in best value.
To that end, the Panel would like to
hear from the many stakeholders of the
MAS program. The MAS program
stakeholders include, but not limited to,
ordering agency contracting officers,
customer agency contracting officer,
GSA contracting officers, schedule
contract holders, Congress, program
managers, General Accountability
Office, and agency Inspector General
Offices. The panel is particularly

that are configured to propose an
integrated solution to an agency’s needs.
