What Contractors Need to Know About GSA Contract Modification

Exemptions for agreements


Project workers are needed to survey every condition in the GSA contract modification either acknowledge or demand an exemption. In the event that an exemption is mentioned, workers for hire should incorporate a composed story to legitimize each solicitation and all special cases should then be haggled with their Contracting Officer (CO). We suggest that project workers with statement special cases contact their CO as soon as possible to guarantee there is sufficient chance to arrange the exemptions before the July 31, 2020 cut-off time.

On the off chance that project workers are taking a special case that was recently haggled preceding the MAS union, the CO will approve those exemptions and decide if the exemption actually applies. Workers for hire ought to have any documentation that upholds the exemption prepared to give to their CO.


For provisos that don't have any significant bearing, project workers don't need to take a special case for the statement. For instance, if your agreement is under the Transactional Data Rule (TDR) you don't have to protest the Price Reductions Clause (PRC) as it doesn't have any significant bearing to your agreement. Also, workers for hire with numerous GSA Schedule agreements should acknowledge a GSA contract modification for every one of their agreements. The agreements will be moved into a solitary agreement during Phase III of the union.


Extraordinary Item Number arrangement


The MAS union diminished the quantity of Special Item Numbers (SINs) by over 60% to around 318 extraordinary numeric or alpha-numeric codes that straightforwardly compare to North American Industrial Classification Standards (NAICS) codes. At the point when a project worker acknowledges the GSA contract modification, their agreements will be naturally refreshed to the new SIN structure. By and large, various SINs have been united into a solitary SIN. For instance, six heritage monetary (520) and counselling (874) SINs were consolidated into a solitary SIN.

At the point when SINs are united the portrayals follow. It is significant that workers for hire audit the SIN arrangement to guarantee that their "new" SIN(s) cover all their item and administration contributions. If the contractor discovers holes in SIN inclusion, they may have to adjust their agreement. Remember, notwithstanding, that project workers won't add any new SINs to their agreement until they have acknowledged the GSA contract modification.


When the Mass Mod has been acknowledged, the worker for hire's SIN(s) will consequently refresh on GSA eLibrary inside one to seven days, however the project worker is answerable for refreshing and transferring their GSA granted value list. Inside the value list, the project worker is needed to refresh the agreement title (i.e., "Timetable 70 Information Technology" turns into "Different Award Schedule"), SIN(s) and agreements.
