Roadmap to get a MAS contract

1. Decide if getting a Multiple Award Schedule contract is in your best interest

   Take the mandatory pathways to success [PDF - 2 MB] training. It takes 3-4 hours. You must acknowledge in the eOffer system that you completed this training within the past year when you submit your offer.

   • Government contracting officers may set aside orders and blanket purchase agreements in these socioeconomic categories when their market research shows that at least three firms are capable of providing the products and services.
   • Even if your company is more than two years old, you still qualify for Startup Springboard if you have fewer than two years of corporate experience providing the products or services described in the MAS solicitation. You may be able to substitute:
     • Other documentation to demonstrate financial responsibility if you don’t have two years of financial statements.
     • Company executives and key professionals’ management and project experience, or other additional info that demonstrates your ability to manage a company and provide the services and products.

2. Do a readiness assessment

   A designated Authorized Negotiator who is also an employee of the company must complete the readiness assessment. You will acknowledge in eOffer that this was done within the past year when you submit your offer.

3. Read the entire MAS solicitation

   The solicitation and category attachments are our formal request for contractors to submit offers. It will detail the required elements of an offer, what evaluation criteria we use to evaluate whether or not to award a MAS contract to your company, and the specific terms and conditions you will need to comply with.

4. Review the new offeror checklist

   Our new offeror checklist [XLSX - 640 KB] summarizes the minimum requirements for your submission. Use the category-specific tabs to make sure you don’t miss anything. A contracting officer also might need additional information as they review your proposal.

5. Complete required registrations

   Learn where you need to register and what you’ll need in order to complete your registrations successfully.

6. Gather the required info for your offer

   You will need to use our templates for some forms, and you will need to compile information to input into required fields in eOffer. Since some fields have character limits, you might want to prepare your information in another application, and then paste it into the system. You should also look up your SINs in our table to see what SIN-specific requirements exist.

7. Finalize and submit your offer

   Log into eOffer using your FAS ID and then complete the information, upload forms, sign, and submit your completed offer. The eOffer/eMod help center has a knowledge base with a table of contents and search to find help for whatever you need.

If you need more info or help, use our National Customer Service Center.
