GSA Multiple Award Schedule for federal AI.

What GSA MAS is, in one paragraph

The General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule — GSA MAS — is the single governmentwide IDIQ that replaced the 24 legacy Schedules GSA used to maintain. In October 2019, GSA consolidated Schedule 70 (IT), Professional Services Schedule, MOBIS, PSS, and 20 others into one instrument with 12 Large Categories and roughly 320 Special Item Numbers. For federal AI work, the IT Category is where the action is: SIN 54151S (Information Technology Professional Services), SIN 54151HACS (Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services), SIN 518210C (Cloud Computing), and SIN 541611 (Management and Business Consulting Services) under the Professional Services Category. A MAS contract is a five-year base with three five-year options — 20 years of acquisition runway if the vendor performs.

Precision Federal's position on GSA MAS today

Precision Delivery Federal LLC does not currently hold a GSA MAS contract. We are honest about this because contracting officers deserve the truth. What we do instead:

• Team as a subcontractor on prime partners' MAS task orders under SIN 54151S and 518210C, contributing AI/ML workshare that the prime cannot cover in-house.
• Prepare our own MAS offer for submission in 2026, targeting SIN 54151S with secondary SINs 518210C and 541611. We will publish SIN assignments, labor categories, and ceiling rates only after award.
• Respond to MAS task orders under our NAICS 541512 registration as a named small-business sub on primes' team rosters.

If you are a prime holding MAS and need a specialized AI subcontractor for a task order, Precision Federal is ready. See our teaming page for how we structure partnerships.

From Schedule 70 to consolidated MAS: what changed

For years, federal IT buyers used GSA Schedule 70 for commercial IT products and services. On October 1, 2019, GSA retired Schedule 70 as a standalone vehicle and folded its SINs into the consolidated MAS structure under the Large Category "Information Technology." The technical contract vehicle number is different, but the IT Category inside MAS is the operational successor to Schedule 70. When federal buyers, forecasting tools, or older contracting guides reference "Schedule 70," they now mean the IT Category inside MAS.

What consolidation did for small businesses:

• One proposal, one negotiation, one CO relationship instead of separate offers for IT and Professional Services.
• Cross-category task orders that bundle AI software, cloud hosting, and advisory services in one procurement.
• Unified Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) for participating vendors, simplifying sales reporting.
• Easier small-business teaming because primes can add subs under the same Master Contract.

SINs that matter for federal AI work

Not every GSA MAS SIN is relevant to AI and machine learning delivery. The shortlist:

SIN	Description	Relevance to AI
54151S	IT Professional Services	Primary. Covers custom AI/ML development, agentic system engineering, RAG pipelines, and model deployment labor categories.
54151HACS	Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services	Relevant when AI work includes penetration testing, red-team engagements against models, or NIST AI RMF assessments.
518210C	Cloud Computing Services	For AI infrastructure hosting, GovCloud deployments, and managed ML platforms delivered as a service.
541611	Management and Business Consulting	AI strategy, organizational change management for AI adoption, governance frameworks.
33411	Purchasing of New Electronic Equipment	Occasionally bundled when AI workloads require specific GPU or accelerator hardware.
511210	Software Licenses	Pass-through for commercial AI software resale under MAS.

Precision Federal's AI and ML practice — agentic AI, machine learning, cloud architecture, and data engineering — maps cleanly to SIN 54151S with supporting scope under 518210C and 541611.

How the GSA MAS task order process works

MAS is not a contract you simply deliver under — it is a pre-awarded framework, and every dollar that actually flows comes through individual task orders. The process looks like this:

1. Agency identifies a requirement and determines MAS is the right acquisition path.
2. Agency posts an RFQ on GSA eBuy (the MAS-only quoting platform) to eligible contract holders.
3. For orders above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, FAR 8.405-2 requires the agency to solicit at least three MAS holders and follow fair-opportunity rules.
4. MAS holders respond with technical and price quotes, including any subcontractor teaming.
5. Award issues as a task order against the prime's MAS contract, typically within 30-60 days.

Speed is the headline benefit. FAR Part 15 full-and-open competitions routinely take 12-18 months from draft RFP to award. An MAS task order can execute in under 90 days for well-scoped requirements, which is why agencies pushed $42B through MAS in FY2024.

Small-business set-asides on MAS task orders

MAS itself is not a set-aside contract — large and small businesses hold MAS side by side. But individual task orders can be set aside under the FAR 8.405-5 discretionary set-aside authority. Agencies commonly set aside MAS task orders for:

• Small business (SB)
• Section 8(a) Business Development program participants
• Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged WOSB (EDWOSB)
• HUBZone small business
• Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

Precision Federal qualifies as a small business and a minority-owned small business. We do not claim 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, or SDVOSB. See our set-aside disclosure for full transparency. When a prime partner adds us to their MAS team, our small-business dollars count toward their FAR 52.219-9 subcontracting plan goals.

How Precision Federal engages primes holding MAS

Our working model with MAS prime partners is deliberately lightweight:

• Step 1 — Teaming agreement: A mutual NDA and teaming agreement signed in days, not weeks. We use standard industry templates and negotiate minor redlines same-week.
• Step 2 — Scope carve-out: The prime identifies the AI/ML workshare we will deliver. Typical carve-outs include agentic system development, RAG pipeline engineering, model fine-tuning, or MLOps platform work. Scope is bounded by deliverable, not open-ended labor categories.
• Step 3 — Pricing: We provide labor category rates that sit below or at the prime's MAS-awarded ceilings, with volume discounts for task orders above $500K.
• Step 4 — Delivery: We work under the prime's QCP and CDRL structure, reporting to a designated prime PM. Our deliverables flow through the prime to the federal CO.
• Step 5 — Renewal: Task orders with option years routinely renew us as the AI sub when performance is documented. Documented sub past performance then becomes CPARS-adjacent evidence on our own MAS offer.

Preparing our own GSA MAS submission

Precision Federal's 2026 plan includes filing our own GSA MAS offer under SIN 54151S as primary. The preparation we have underway:

• Commercial Sales Practices (CSP) documentation — We are building the CSP-1 form backstop showing commercial customer pricing consistency, required under MAS for competitive price negotiation.
• Past performance — Two years of corporate existence is the MAS norm. Our SBIR task order wins and prime subcontracts through 2026 will backfill the past-performance requirement.
• Technical capability — Kaggle Top 200 founder pedigree, production ML at SAMHSA, and a documented stack for federal AI deployment constitute the technical narrative.
• Financial responsibility — Mercury / Column N.A. banking, audited financials, and a cash runway sufficient for cost-plus task orders.
• Labor categories and rates — Drafted in alignment with DoL Service Contract Act wage determinations for federal work.

We will not advertise rates, SINs, or contract numbers until the MAS award is in hand. See our SBIR page for the near-term revenue engine that funds the runway toward MAS.

Task order competition dynamics on MAS

Winning MAS task orders is a different game than winning full-and-open FAR Part 15 contracts. Dynamics that matter:

• Speed of response: Typical MAS RFQ response window is 7-14 days. Primes with pre-positioned teams and reusable past-performance libraries win.
• Past performance relevance: Technical evaluation weights relevant task order deliveries heavily. A vendor with three MAS task orders for AI work beats a larger firm with zero.
• Small-business participation: Agencies increasingly score proposals on committed small-business subcontracting percentages, especially above SAT.
• Price realism: MAS ceiling rates are negotiated, but task-order pricing must be reasonable for the work. Unreasonably low rates trigger price-realism adjustments.
• Labor category precision: MAS labor categories are negotiated into the Master Contract. Task order staffing must match awarded LCATs exactly.

GSA MAS versus other governmentwide vehicles

Contracting officers often weigh GSA MAS against NASA SEWP, NIH CIO-SP4, GSA Alliant 2, and OASIS+. Quick comparison:

Vehicle	Scope	Ordering fee	Typical cycle
GSA MAS	Commercial IT products/services, professional services	0.75% Industrial Funding Fee	60-90 days for task orders
NASA SEWP VI	IT products and solutions governmentwide	Very low surcharge (typically under 0.5%)	30-45 days for most orders
NIH CIO-SP4	Health IT and broader IT services	Low surcharge	60-120 days
GSA Alliant 2	IT services, full life cycle	0.75% contract access fee	90-180 days
OASIS+	Professional services IDIQ	0.1% administrative fee	60-120 days

MAS is the broadest and most flexible vehicle. When scope can fit under MAS, agencies increasingly default to it because the ordering process is familiar and the vendor pool is large.

Risk areas Precision Federal handles cleanly

• Price Reduction Clause (PRC): MAS triggers PRC when commercial tracking-customer discounts shift. We track commercial discount relationships from day one.
• Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance: MAS requires products/services from TAA-designated countries. Our AI/ML services stack (U.S.-based labor, U.S. cloud regions) is TAA-compliant by default.
• Transactional Data Reporting (TDR): MAS vendors report sales data monthly when participating. Our accounting stack is built for monthly transactional reporting.
• Commercial Sales Practices consistency: Our commercial rates and federal rates are aligned through a documented rate card.

Frequently asked questions

Does Precision Federal hold a GSA MAS contract?

No. Precision Federal does not currently hold a GSA MAS contract. We pursue MAS task orders through prime partners who hold the vehicle and we are preparing our own MAS submission for 2026. We do not advertise MAS contract numbers, SINs, or rates we have not been awarded.

What SINs will Precision Federal seek on its MAS offer?

Primary SIN 54151S (IT Professional Services). Secondary SINs 518210C (Cloud Computing) and 541611 (Management and Business Consulting). We will publish SIN assignments only after award.

Can a prime add Precision Federal as a sub on a specific MAS task order?

Yes. Email [email protected] with the task order number, the AI/ML scope you want covered, and the performance period. We respond within one business day with a teaming fit assessment.

What small-business credentials does Precision Federal bring to a prime's MAS team?

SBA small business under NAICS 541512 (and 541511, 541519, 541715, 518210), minority-owned small business. SAM.gov active, UEI Y2JVCZXT9HP5, CAGE 1AYQ0. Sub dollars routed to us count toward FAR 52.219-9 small-business and minority-owned small-business subcontracting goals.

Is GSA MAS the same as Schedule 70?

Schedule 70 was retired as a standalone contract in October 2019 when GSA consolidated all Schedules into one MAS. The IT Category inside MAS is the operational successor. When contracting officers reference "Schedule 70," they now mean the IT Category inside MAS.

How long until Precision Federal holds its own MAS?

Our MAS offer is targeted for submission in 2026 with award expected 9-14 months after offer. We will update this page when award issues. Until then, we engage MAS task orders only through prime partners.
