Understanding What a GSA Schedule Contract Is

A GSA Schedule Contract is a governmentwide, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. It paves the way for federal agencies - and occasionally state and local governments, to purchase a wide range of commercial products and services at settled prices and terms. This unique arrangement not only streamlines the purchasing process but also offers businesses a substantial opportunity to grow their sales.
