Definition
The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), still often called the GSA Schedule, is a set of long-term, government-wide contracts with pre-negotiated prices and terms. Federal agencies order from schedule holders under FAR Subpart 8.4 instead of running a full open competition.
Schedules are organized by Special Item Numbers (SINs); some SINs are also open to state and local governments through GSA's Cooperative Purchasing and Disaster Purchasing programs.
