GSA Schedule 70 Wireless Services SIN Update

Blackfyre is a leader in providing GSA Federal Schedule Consulting. We are here to inform and guide businesses about the changes to the Wireless Services Special Item Number (SIN) of GSA IT Schedule 70. In this post, we share insights regarding the SIN expansion to include Wireless Mobility Solutions (WMS) and how it impacts contractors.

Expansion of Wireless Services SIN 132-53:

The Mobile Services Category Team (MSCT) run by GSA, has chosen to expand the existing Wireless Services SIN 132-53 to include a wider range of Wireless Mobility Solutions. This move is in response to the demand for advanced and comprehensive mobility solutions in federal procurement.

Enhanced SIN 132-53 Scope:

To broaden its reach, the new SIN will now include a total of 11 subcategories. This expansion goes beyond wireless carrier services including advanced mobility solutions like Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), Mobile Threat Protection (MTP), and the Internet of Things solutions (IoT). The main aim is to cater to a more diverse spectrum of federal mobility requirements, considering the state and local government needs which historically have accounted for a significant percentage of the SIN 132-53 sales.

Implications for Contractors:

1. Current SIN 132-53 Contractors: The current wireless service providers under SIN 132-53 will need to adapt to the new scope and perhaps revise their offerings to align with the new subcategories.

2. New Contractors: The enhanced SIN will be attractive to businesses wanting to offer wireless and mobility solutions, thanks to the expected visibility increase and demand surge.

3. Reporting Requirements: Expectations are that the new SIN will have extra reporting obligations inherited from the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) Wireless BPA. Contractors should be ready to meet these enhanced responsibilities to maintain compliance and good standing.

Potential Best-in-Class (BIC) Designation:

If the new SIN 132-53 gets a Best-in-Class (BIC) designation similar to the FSSI Wireless BPA, it could attract more federal customers. This would position the SIN as a preferred government-wide solution, potentially increasing demand and visibility for contractors under this SIN.
