The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to refresh all of its major governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs) and multiple award vehicles by the end of January, Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Deputy Commissioner Laura Stanton said on Thursday evening.
Speaking at an event hosted by GovExec, Stanton said GSA is embedding recent Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) changes directly into the contracts agencies use most to buy technology and services, such as Oasis+ and Alliant 2.
“All of those deviations are going to be brought into those contracts by the end of January,” Stanton said.
MAS Refresh Sets the Template
GSA has already taken a major step in that direction with its Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program refresh. MAS is a government-wide procurement program that streamlines purchasing from pre-approved vendors and exceeded $51.5 billion in sales during fiscal year (FY) 2024.
