The middle man has been removed. Interagency Agreements are not required to use Multiple Award Schedules. GWAC are contracts for various information technology resources owned by one Federal agency but all other federal agencies can use, on a limited basis. The Multiple Award Schedules program provides Federal customers with over 4 million products from more than 6,000 vendors, without ordering restrictions, around the world. Other agencies' IDIQs primarily are for use by the host agency.
Access is limited to other agencies and limited sources are available.
Some require approval letters, documentation for best value selection, price determinations, etc. GSA s goal is to be your best value supplier of choice. Multiple Award Schedules contracts offer Most Favored Customer discounts. Quantity discounts may also be available. Additional price reductions may be obtained by individual agencies.
