Title: GSA Office relocation SIN is Relocating

Blackfyre, a distinguished leader in GSA Federal Schedule Consulting, is about to open a new chapter. We want to bring to light the recent announcement from the General Services Administration about a significant transformation. They are transferring their office services from GSA Transportation Schedule 48 to GSA Comprehensive Furniture Management Services (CFMS) Schedule 71 II K. As a company committed to providing reliable GSA schedule assistance and consultancy, we aim to guide businesses through these changes seamlessly. Here are some key facts you need to know:

1. The Shift in Office Relocation Services:

In a bid to streamline services, the Office Relocation Special Item Number (SIN) 653-8 is transitioning from Schedule 48 to become part of SIN 712-3 under Schedule 71 II K. This process is a part of the GSA's ongoing efforts to ensure that similar services are grouped under suitable schedules.

2. Renaming of SIN 712-3:

The GSA has thoughtfully renamed SIN 712-3 as "Office Relocation/Reconfiguration Management Solutions". This alteration enhances its representation, covering all the services included under this SIN comprehensively.

3. Impact on Non-Office Related Relocation Services:

Intriguingly, non-office related relocation services, including SIN 653-1: Relocation Service Package and SIN 653-3: Relocation Software, Technology Tools, Services, are set to remain on Schedule 48. This strategy ensures that specialized relocation services continue to be available to government agencies through valid channels.

4. Impact on Companies:

The shift of the SIN will affect different companies indifferent ways, depending on their current contract.

• Companies with services under Schedule 71 II K, SIN 712-3: You will only need to accept the mass modification when Schedule 71 II K is refreshed, with other effects being minimal.
• Companies with services under Schedule 48, SIN 653-8: You will have to submit a modification to remove SIN 653-8 and accept SIN 712-3 after the "lift and shift" of your contract to Schedule 71 II K.
• Companies offering multiple services under Schedule 48: If your services extend to SIN 653-8 alongside other SINs under Schedule 48, you will have to submit a new proposal for Schedule 71 II K to keep offering office relocation services.

5. Timeline and Actions Required:

The GSA is determined to make the relocation of contracts effective by July 1, 2018. Those impacted will then have until September 29, 2018, to submit the required modification. If you need to submit a new proposal for Schedule 71 II K, it's of paramount importance to commence this process promptly to avoid any disruption to services.
