This consolidation is justified as being critical to the agency's mission success (see FAR 7.107-2(e)(1)(i)). Though quantitative benefits of this initiative cannot be reasonably estimated, a number of significant qualitative benefits are anticipated. These benefits include improvements that will save time, promote efficiency, reduce acquisition cycle times, and simplify the terms and conditions of the MAS program. This consolidation will establish a more intuitive structure that streamlines customer access to contract offerings and eliminates duplication of items throughout the program. Additionally, this initiative will make it easier and more efficient for industry to do business with federal, state, and local governments. Overall, the consolidation of the 24 GSA-managed schedule solicitations into one solicitation is critical to the success of GSA's mission. This approach provides the most optimal solution, and the benefits realized as a result of this consolidated solicitation outweigh any possible negative impacts to Small Business (SB).
