Small Service Businesses Need a MAC to Grow
Most federal service contracts are now being awarded through Multiple Award Schedule (MAC) contracts to avoid the delays and piles of paperwork required for a public competition.
Except for GSA schedules, all of the large government-wide MACS are for consulting and information technology (IT) services. ALLIANT 2, the last of the big government-wide MACS for IT services, is being opened for proposals this summer. (Government-wide MACs will not be opened for proposals for several years, except GSA schedules.)
The Professional Services (PSS) GSA schedule is a special government-wide MAC that is always open for a bid. This allows small businesses without large federal service contracts to participate in the MAC market.
Federal buyers prefer to contract through a MAC because it is fast and efficient.
The PSS schedule covers most types of services including:
- Financial services
- Management consulting services
- Training services
- Advertising and marketing services
- Language services
- Professional engineering services
- Logistical services
- Environmental services
