U.S. General Services Administration

Accessing Commercial Financial Management 

Solutions with SIN 518210FM

Introduction to Special Item Number (SIN) 518210FM

The creation of this SIN was an outcome of OMB Memorandum M-19-16 and the designation of the U.S. 

Department of Treasury as the Financial Management Quality Service Management Office (FM QSMO). A key 

component of the FM QSMO program is to establish a marketplace consisting of commercially available financial 

management solutions to support agency requirements for cloud-computing services and cloud-related IT 

professional services. 

SIN 518210FM differs from other SINs under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Information Technology 

category. It has additional minimum contractor-compliance standards and additional technical-evaluation 

requirements that would not be suitable to layer onto other existing MAS SINs. SIN 518210FM provides 

ordering agencies access to FM QSMO Marketplace.

Features of SIN 518210FM

SIN 518210FM includes Core Financial Management 

Solutions (Core FS) and Financial Management (FM) 

services and solutions that are complementary to or 

augment Core FS and/or support agency modernizations. 

Offerings include financial management software suites 

in a cloud environment; services, applications, and 

modules that help agencies adopt FM QSMO solutions; 

and IT professional services and/or labor categories, 

software, and cloud-computing and IT training that 

support FM QSMO adoption.
