What is a Multiple Award Schedule contract?
Awarded to all responsible companies that submit a proposal, multiple award schedule (MAS) contracts are the primary vehicle for Federal agencies to acquire commercial items. MAS contracts leverage the Government’s volume buying power to achieve the best possible negotiated terms, conditions, and pricing. VA FSS contracts are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) (for full definition of IDIQ contracts see the FSS Acronyms & Definitions web page) contracts awarded to responsible companies that offer commercial medical services or supplies at fair and reasonable prices and established terms and conditions. Eligible ordering activities can place orders directly with Schedule contractors for delivery worldwide.
