Description

On June 7, 2000, the General Services Administration and the U.S. Small Business Administration signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program. This MOU permits agencies ordering from 8(a) contractors to count those orders toward their small business program procurement goals as awards made pursuant to the provisions of the section 8(a) of the Small Business Act. Current Multiple Award Schedule contractors who are determined by SBA to be 8(a) eligible may elect to modify their contracts to be designated as 8(a) program participants and be listed accordingly on the GSA Schedules E-Library and GSA Advantage! If you are 8(a) eligible and wish to modify your MAS contract to reflect this statute, please notify your appropriate GSA contracting officer.
