The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) is planning to issue Refresh # 6 for the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation 47QSMD20R0001 in May 2021.
Overview of planned changes:
Implementation of the Verified Products Portal (VPP), a manufacturer and wholesaler-facing portal containing authoritative product content that will standardize catalog-data for COTS products procured under the MAS program
Revise scope of MAS Solicitation to authorize only those drones approved through DIU’s Blue sUAS Program
Incorporate updated Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) Wage Determinations
Replacing digital certificates with DocuSign for electronic signature of documents and FAS ID for authentication into eOffer/eMod, rendering digital certificates unnecessary
Incorporate clarification on Ability One Authorized Distributors
Incorporate clause and provision updates through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2021-02 through 2021-05 and GSAR Change 114 through 123
Incorporate various additional updates to SCP-FSS-001
