A Federal Supply Schedule, also known as a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), is a listing of contractors that have been awarded a contract by GSA that can be used by all federal agencies.
GSA awards competitive contracts to those companies who give the same or better discounts than their best commercial customers after it determines the prices to be fair and reasonable. The Federal Supply Schedule program mirrors commercial buying practices more than any other procurement process in the federal government.
