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, November 10, 2008 and
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. GSA
utilizes the MAS 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 commercial 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. The Panel will be developing
recommendations for MAS program
pricing provisions for the acquisition of
(1) professional services; (2) products;
(3) total solutions which consist of
professional services and products; and
(4) non professional services. In
developing the recommendations, the
Panel will, at a minimum, address these
5 questions for each of the 4 types of
acquisitions envisioned above: (1)
Where does competition take place?; (2)
If competition takes place primarily at
the task/delivery order level, does a fair
and reasonable price determination at
the MAS contract level really matter?;
(3) If the Panel consensus is that
competition is at the task order level,
are the methods that GSA uses to
determine fair and reasonable prices
and maintain the price/discount

relationship with the basis of award
customer(s) adequate?; (4) If the current
policy is not adequate, what are the
recommendations to improve the
policy/guidance?; and (5) If fair and
reasonable price determination at the
MAS contract level is not beneficial and
the fair and reasonable price
determination is to be determined only
at the task/delivery order level, then
what is the GSA role?
To that end, the Panel would like to
hear from the many stakeholders of the
MAS program. The MAS program
stakeholders include, but are not limited
to, ordering agency contracting officers,
GSA contracting officers, schedule
contract holders, Congress, program
managers, General Accountability
Office, and Federal agency Inspector
General Offices. The panel is
particularly interested in stakeholder
views as to how the issues discussed
above may relate differently to the
purchase of goods, services, or goods
and services that are configured to
propose an integrated solution to an
agency’s needs. Written comments may
be submitted at any time in accordance
with the guidance below.
