GSA Contract SIN Addition is Back

As a GSA Federal Schedule Consulting firm, Blackfyre is keenly aware of the significant changes to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). One recent and crucial development has been the restoration of the Special Item Numbers (SINs) to the eMod system. Undoubtedly, these updates will be invaluable to contractors looking to expand their services and product offerings via the Consolidated GSA MAS Contract. Below, we analyze this development in detail and explore how we can assist contractors in leveraging this exciting opportunity.

Overview of SIN Functionality Restoration

During the transition to the new Consolidated GSA MAS Contract, a temporary hold was placed on adding SINs. This restriction has now been lifted, allowing contractors to submit modifications to add SINs via the eMod system once again.

Significance for Contractors

This development could not be timelier - contractors can now add products or services to help government agencies maintain operations as well as respond to emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidated Contract Flexibility

All SINs from the previous 24 legacy GSA Schedules have been incorporated into one comprehensive contract in the new Consolidated GSA MAS Contract. As such, contractors can now add any SIN that they qualify for under this consolidated contract, simplifying the procedures involved in providing a broader range of solutions to government agencies.

What this Means for Contractors

• Expansion of Offerings: Contractors who previously had to put plans to expand their offerings on hold due to the temporary restriction can now resume these plans. This includes adding new products, services, or solutions that are pertinent and essential in today's market, such as emergency response products and telework services.
• Streamlined Contract Management: By having the ability to add SINs under the Consolidated GSA MAS Contract, the management of contracts for contractors offering a diverse range of products and services becomes far more straightforward, reducing the need for multiple contracts.
