Title: Preparing for a PSS as a Single Schedule Holder

For companies holding a single GSA Schedule that is transitioning into the Professional Services Schedule (PSS), understanding the transition process and preparing adequately can ensure a smooth shift without disrupting business operations. Here's an overview of what you need to know and how to prepare for the transition to PSS as a single Schedule holder.

Professional Services Schedule (PSS) Snapshot:

PSS is a consolidated schedule that includes a variety of professional service offerings. The transition involves merging several existing schedules into one, making it easier for federal customers to find and purchase services. If you hold only one of the designated GSA Schedules being transitioned into PSS, you are considered a single Schedule holder for this transition.

List of GSA Schedules to be Transitioned to PSS:

• MOBIS Schedule 874
• PES Schedule 871
• FABS Schedule 520
• AIMS Schedule 541
• LOGWORLD Schedule 874 V
• Environmental Schedule 899
• Language Schedule 738 II

PSS Transition Process for Single Schedule Holders:

1. Mass Modification Notification: Expect a mass modification from GSA indicating the transition of your schedule to PSS. This modification will typically state that your schedule is now under the PSS umbrella with its clauses and solicitation but maintains the same contract number and period of performance.
2. SINs Carried Over: Most Special Item Number(s) (SINs) associated with your schedule will be carried over to PSS as part of the transition.

Three PSS Preparation Steps for Single Schedule Holders:

1. Update Primary Point of Contact: Ensure that your GSA primary point of contact is up-to-date to receive all mass modification email notices.
2. Accept Pending Mass Modifications: Address any pending mass modifications, as failure to accept these might delay receiving future notices.
3. Hold New GSA Schedule Contract Pursuits: If you're considering or pursuing an additional GSA Schedule that's part of the PSS consolidation, consider pausing your efforts. Once transitioned, it might be more strategic to modify your existing PSS contract to add additional services instead of pursuing a new one.

Benefits of Proper Preparation:

• Seamless Transition: Adequate preparation ensures that your business operations continue smoothly without any interruption in your ability to sell to the federal government.
• Continued Compliance: Understanding and adapting to the new PSS structure will help maintain compliance with GSA's requirements.
• Strategic Positioning: With a consolidated schedule, you might find new opportunities to expand your offerings under the PSS umbrella, leveraging the broader scope it provides.
