The General Services Administration (GSA) has announced major updates to its Multiple Awards Schedule (MAS) program, affecting thousands of government contractors. Key changes include: -Allowing MAS contracts that fail to meet sales thresholds to expire. -Addressing contractor performance and compliance issues. -Streamlining processes to prioritize value and fiscal responsibility. -Reducing redundancies with other procurement channels. According to FAS Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, these updates are meant to "rightsize" the MAS program, ensuring federal agencies get the most impactful return on investment while benefiting the American taxpayer. These initiatives coincide with broader changes at GSA, including updates to its FedRAMP program and increased enforcement actions for contractors not meeting contract thresholds. ??
