Federal agencies are increasingly required—or strongly incentivized—to buy through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs). This shift toward vehicle supremacy has fundamentally changed how federal dollars are accessed, how buying decisions are made, and which contractors are positioned to grow.
In this webinar, we’ll break down the regulatory and acquisition forces driving MAS and GWAC dominance, how agencies use these vehicles in practice, and what this means for contractors competing in a market where access often matters as much as capability. Attendees will learn how to leverage changes to MAS and OASIS+, optimize their contract portfolios, and use compliance maturity as a competitive differentiator—not just a requirement.
Learning Objectives:
-
Navigate the forces driving GSA MAS and GWAC dominance
Understand why agencies are prioritizing these vehicles and how policy, speed, and risk reduction are shaping buying behavior. -
Leverage MAS and OASIS+ changes to strengthen contractor competitiveness
Learn how contractors can take advantage of evolving MAS and OASIS+ structures, on‑ramps, and ordering strategies to improve positioning, access, and win potential. -
Turn compliance into a competitive advantage
Identify common compliance pitfalls and learn how mature compliance practices can reduce risk, increase trust, and differentiate your company in a crowded federal market.
