What is a Federal Supply Schedule?
A Federal Supply Schedule, also known as a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), is a listing of contractors that have been awarded a contract by GSA, which can be used by all Federal agencies.

How does GSA award these contracts?
GSA awards competitive contracts to those companies who give the same or better discounts than their best commercial customers, after it determines the prices to be fair and reasonable. The Federal Supply Schedule program mirrors commercial buying practices more than any other procurement process in the Federal Government.

How will I benefit from using this schedule?
You benefit from using this schedule by:

  • Competition: All competition requirements have been met
  • Hassle-Free Volume Purchase Prices: GSA negotiated the discounts for you
  • Easy Payment Options: CETRA accepts the GSA SmartPay Card
  • Flexible Purchasing Options: Blanket Purchase Agreements save you time and money
  • No Commerce Business Daily (CBD) synopsis requirements: GSA has already issued the synopsis
  • Schedule orders count toward small business goals
  • Access to state-of-the-art technology and quality services

What are the ordering procedures?
Federal Supply Schedule allows you to purchase commercial services without ever leaving your desk. When contacting CETRA, let us know that you are a Federal customer so that you can take advantage of the schedule price. Be sure to cite the GSA Contract number on your ordering documents and when paying with the GSA SmartPay Card. Guidelines for ordering from schedules can be found in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.4 at http://www.arnet.gov/far. They are summarized below:

Under the $2,500 Micro-Purchase Threshold
Order from any schedule contractor of your choice

Over the $2,500 Micro-Purchase Threshold
Look at three price lists or "GSA AdvantageTM"
Select the "Best Value"
