As part of MAS Refresh 29 (released early September 2025), a new Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause GSAR 552.238-120 was added to the MAS Schedule and the previous EPA clauses were removed (I-FSS-969 and GSAR 552.216-70).
What is the Impact to GSA Schedule Vendors?
GSA has indicated during an Advance Notice Webinar and via email that any pricing modifications, including addition modifications and contract options will trigger the need to submit the Revised Terms and Conditions modification to implement the new EPA method/mechanism for the entire contract. This modification must be approved prior the submittal or approval of any other pricing related modifications. GSA vendors as part of this Terms and Conditions modification would propose both the method and mechanism for your contract’s future EPA process and negotiate with GSA to finalize.
GSA has released more details in the modification guidance found here under the MAS Modification Guide section starting on page 32 of the GSA PDF. Contact TGG at 202-833-1120 or via email at info@gormgroup.com.for more details and for any help that may be needed in submitting the Terms and Conditions modification to GSA.
