When establishing a GSA Schedule BPA, can the scope of the GSA Schedule contract be modified to accommodate the special needs of the ordering activity?
No. The alteration or tailoring of GSA Schedule contract terms and conditions which has implication to the scope of the underlying contract is strictly prohibited. Such tailoring constitutes cardinal changes in the contractural relationship and may violate the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA). When there is a question as to whether additional GSA Schedule BPA terms and conditions conflict with the scope of the GSA Schedule contract, the ordering activity should contact the assigned GSA contracting officer.
