GSA has distributed its announcement about the agency’s decision to discontinue its Formatted Product Tool pilot program. Just as I was, contractors falling under the 58 I, 72, and 66 GSA schedule program types were struck with mixed feelings upon receipt of the recent announcement . (more…)
FedMall is the redesigned successor of the DLA eMall program; a successful 20-year purchasing program. FedMall is an eCommerce platform which hosts millions of products that are available for purchase by authorized entities. It includes tools to assist both customers and suppliers with functions that allow for product catalog management, tracking purchases, and more. FedMall is comparable to popular commercial and government eCommerce shopping sites, such as Amazon.com and GSAAdvantage.gov respectively, this online shopping center is made available to Government customers from Federal, State, and local agencies.
FedMall Suppliers can publish and modify awarded products in FedMall and maximize visibility to customers who purchase through this platform. DLA eCommerce option has a growing popularity in both the supplier and customer community, a FedMall contract could increase your sales and they now have a fully functioning platform that provides order life-cycle support.
There are two options to registering to the FedMall. To become a FedMall Supplier, you must have a long term federal contract that FedMall is able to support.
Very similar to the GSA Schedule, the DLA Schedule is a newer type of IDIQ contract that is able to provide the government customer with a discounted Commercial Off-the shelf (COTS) product.
Another option is only available to office supply vendors who must have NAICS 453210 in their profile on SAM.gov and requires no long-term contract as mentioned above. Office Supply vendors can register in the FedMall MarketPlace, but limits you to only selling up to the micro-purchase threshold for government purchase cards, currently at $3,500.00. The FedMall MarketPlace is an eCommerce, platform similar to FedMall, allowing vendors to provide “open market” options to customers. The MarketPlace is a pilot program that is only open to vendors offering office products, and the MarketPlace is looking to add more categories of products in the near future.
Once a long-term government contract has been identified (you may add more than one), suppliers will also need to ensure that they have a valid System for Award Management (SAM) registration and also include a CAGE Code. Suppliers will also have to obtain specified authentication certificates in order to access FedMall. These certificates are obtained from third party sources at an additional cost and specific to an individual user. FedMall currently recognizes CAC cards, PIV cards, and/or soft file certificates that are installed within web browsers. Have a GSA Schedule and have access to GSA eMod? You can also use your existing certificate to access FedMall!
The FedMall ordering process is only privy to authorized individuals and will require the supplier to have a secure method for accepting orders. The currently recognized secure transmission types include secure email (PGP certificate installation), EDI 850 and cXML transfer methods. PGP secure email set up remains the most popular order transmission method as it can be obtained rather quickly and is also available from trusted parties such as Symantec and Identrust.
Once the prerequisites have been met, contractors may begin registering the contract through the FedMall Supplier Portal. Be advised that this platform is fairly new and has been experiencing a number of technical issues. Vendors may experience technical issues and slow responses from the FedMall technical team. FedMall has been listening to the community and is exhausting every effort to roll out new updates as soon as they can. FedMall hosts regularly scheduled town hall teleconferences and are open to discussing to issues that users are currently experiencing.
To find out when the next Town Hall teleconference will be, or to jump in and start your registration, visit the FedMall Supplier Portal at https://www.suppliers.fedmall.mil.
Agency customers requiring assistance are encouraged to visit the FedMall Customer Registration page at: http://www.dla.mil/Info/FedMall/FedMallBuyers/

On May 18, House Armed Services Committee Chairman, Congressman Thornberry introduced the Defense Acquisition Streamlining and Transparency Act (HR 2511), which aims to modernize how the Department of Defense (DoD) procures goods and services. The draft legislation would allow the Pentagon to use e-commerce (online) vendors for commercial off-the-shelf products, streamline the defense contract audit process, and enhance the acquisition of services.
The legislation also seeks to make the Defense Contract Audit Process more efficient. Currently, the Defense Contract Audit Agency’s (DCAA) audits of incurred costs are slow and cumbersome with often little value to the taxpayer. For example, in 2016, it took an average of 885 days to close out an incurred cost audit; such audits accounted for only a small amount of DCAA’s reported savings.
The new legislation would utilize two types of audits to ensure that contractors charge the government fair and reasonable prices– Forward-pricing (pre-work) and Incurred cost (post-work).
The materiality standards for incurred cost audits would be raised to avoid spending time and resources on low-value auditing. Acquisition officials will not be restricted to using DCAA, but also would be able to engage a qualified private auditor to conduct incurred cost audits. Such audits would be required to be completed within one year.
Currently, decision-makers lack information on past and anticipated future contracted services. This means that they focus more on processing the contract action than evaluating the underlying need for service. The proposal to use enterprise-wide data analyses to empower better decision making will help move the Department forward and not lag behind the private sector in decision-making and sharing information among stakeholders.
In 2015, the Pentagon spent $274 billion through contracts, 53% ($144 billion) was contracted services; Still, the Department and Congress are unable to perform effective oversight on services contracting. The decision-making process for acquiring services is neither data-driven nor strategic in focus, encouraging inefficient use of funds.
In this proposal, the Department would collect and analyze the necessary information to evaluate and plan for contracted services. Tying the services contracting process to the annual budget submission will improve transparency and accountability, while allowing Congress better oversight. The Department needs would have to be specified earlier to allow better planning and evaluate requirements more strategically.
These reforms depend on decision makers’ access to data–DOD’s massive amounts of data is locked up and controlled by individual military services or defense agencies. This legislation requires data within the Department’s business systems to be made readily available to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the military departments to inform decision makers in making procurements.
Taken together, this legislation is intended to increase competition and provide data to better inform decision makers of choices for the purchase of products and services, creating competition, and making audit activities more timely and efficient.
The fast acquisition through eCommerce channels will inevitably drive pricing down and dissolve much of the authority of the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA); thus, potentially harming the ability of small businesses to compete within the DOD acquisition space. Large companies that provide products in large volumes would offer economies of scale; small companies would have to rely on set-asides to remain in business.
We would also imagine, GSA is opposed to this bill as it would create yet another acquisition method outside of the schedule and dilute their stronghold.
The silver lining is that someone understands the bureaucratic hurdles that exist in current procurement methods is putting efforts forward to modernize the acquisition process.
We’ll continue to follow the bill through the House and update you on any revisions. While the debate continues, the GSA schedule is still the gold standard in contracting with the Government. If you need any assistance with obtaining or maintaining a GSA schedule, please contact us for a discussion of best practices and your critical.
The GSA’s System for Award Management website (SAM.gov) is looking to make some massive updates in the future. SAM is the searchable federal database where vendors register in order to carry out any business with the government.
The new vision for SAM is to eventually consolidate the functions of 10 existing sites. The goal of this endeavor is to compile all contractor registration and award data into one easily accessible source. (more…)
The Texas Comptroller’s office is sending out notifications advising contractors of several confirmed instances of fraudulent purchase orders being distributed to vendors without the agencies’ authorization. All TXMAS and TXDIR contractors are being advised to double check all state purchase orders received.
These fraudulent orders are in the form of screen captures of actual agency purchase orders taken from the agency’s website. While all Purchase Orders should be validated for correctness, Contractors are being advised to pay particular attention to the certain items found within these Purchase Orders. Pay attention to the following:
To the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts knowledge, all fraudulent purchases orders have contained IT-related commodity items. These items are found in TXDIR contracts, however TXMAS should be considered as well.
Below are some steps you can take if you encounter any purchase orders that you feel are fraudulent, remember “prevention is better than cure”:
Jack Coley meets with Mayor Ivy Taylor to discuss Military Veteran transition assistance ideas for San Antonio.
Jack introduced Force+, our Military Veteran-focused, Transition Management Platform, designed by Veterans, that enhance a community’s ability to successfully transition more military Veterans into the workforce.
As more and more agencies are being directed to the DOD EMALL (FedMALL) platform, many vendors have been looking for ways to place their product catalog on this booming platform. DOD EMALL is an eCommerce site in which agencies can purchase commercial items from qualifying Product Service Codes shown in table below; however, a contractor must have a current long-term government contract in place in order to qualify to place the same products and pricing onto the FedMALL eCommerce site.
One way to qualify, is to obtain the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) very own Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. Comparable to GSA’s FSS program in many ways, vendors may submit an offer to the agency for consideration. Vendors will continue to work with a DLA Contracting Officer and negotiate products and pricing, and once an agreement is met regarding the contract’s terms and conditions, the vendor is awarded its very own DLA Schedule. Somewhat similar to GSA’s GSAAdvantage eCommerce platform, DLA Schedule holders will have their products hosted in FedMALL, which gives your government customers another streamlined way to buy your products.
If this is the MAS contract that you have been looking for, better act quickly! Unlike GSA Schedules, DLA Schedules are not continuously open solicitations and the first open period for 2017 is right around the corner. Vendors must submit their proposal by mail and be received by DLA not later than April 28th, 2017. Vendors who cannot meet this suspense date must wait until the next opening, which will open up again in October 2017.
DLA’s current opening/closing dates for 2017, 2018, and 2019 are listed below for your consideration, however keep in mind that these dates have been amended in the past and are subject to change:
| YEAR | OPENING | CLOSING |
| 2017 | 03 April | 28 April |
| 2017 | 03 October | 31 October |
| 2018 | 03 April | 30 April |
| 2018 | 03 October | 31 October |
| 2019 | 03 April | 30 April |
| 2019 | 03 October | 31 October |
Other paths on to DOD eMall is by using an existing GSA or VA FSS contract. If you have an existing FSS contract there is a simplified award process that is not restricted by the solicitation’s open and close dates. Contact us for details on adding your products to the DOD eMall.
Don’t wait. The DLA Schedule program is becoming a popular contract vehicle among agency customers for streamlined acquisitions, such as the Department of Defense. As a result, more vendors are submitting proposals to have their products listed. After submitting your proposal, be prepared to wait up to a year before DLA awards your FSS schedule. Submitting your offer in April 2017 will place you 6 months ahead of offers that are submitted later this year in October. To see all submission requirements, Vendors may read the entire solicitation as posted on FedBizOpps.

All GSA Schedule holders and new offerors who wish to do business with the GSA Federal Supply Schedule program must have a digital certificate to access various GSA systems that are essential for continued success. These systems include the eOffer system (used to submit new offers to GSA), eMod (submitting contract modifications), and the new FAS Sales Reporting system used to submit your monthly FSS sales.
As consultants, we are equipped with the appropriate certificates that are used to access GSA systems on your behalf, however GSA does require that at least 1 individual (who is also an authorized negotiator on the contract) that is a direct employee of your organization have this certificate as well.
If you think you’re fine and have a certificate installed, are you also tracking the expiration date? Digital certificates have a 2 year shelf life and a new application must be processed with the appropriate vendor. Also keep in mind that this process will take at least a couple of weeks and tracking the expiration date of your existing certificate will help avoid any possible interruption of access.
For new offerors that have decided to submit an offer under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule program, or if you need a new certificate, please follow the instruction provided by GSA.
If you are an existing FSS contractor and not sure if you have access to GSA’s system, use this time to see if you have access in order to mitigate any possible delays in the future. Here’s how to check:
After the click, and if you’re certificate was found, a prompt will pop up and show you the certificates installed on the machine. If you see an ACES certificate with your name listed, you now know that the certificate has been installed properly and you know what browser you should be using moving forward (Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.). Below is my digital certificate after clicking the appropriate sign in button.
IF IT DOES NOT POP UP: No pop up means that there was no digital certificate found on either that machine and/or browser. Keep trying until you find it, and if no certificate can be ultimately be found, click here to find out how to apply for a new digital certificate and follow instructions from the provider.
IF IT DOES POP UP: Select the appropriate certificate and click ‘OK’ to go to the next screen. Congratulations, you have a digital certificate installed! At this point, you need to find out if you are authorized to access your contract via eMod.
The next screen will let you know if you an Authorized Negotiator or not and the next screen will surely let you know. If you see the eMod main screen, you’re good to go with no further actions! Remember, track the expiration date so that you know when to submit for a new certificate.
If the next screen looks similar to the screenshot below, you are either 1) not an Authorized Negotiator who is authorized to access the contract, or 2) you are an Authorized Negotiator, however your certificate is not syncing with GSA’s systems.
If this is the case:
The Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency, (DLA) assigns the five-character ID and uses alpha numeric identifier is assigned to entities located in the United States and its’ territories.
Any company pursuing business with the Federal Government, must have a CAGE code. It supports a variety of procurement and acquisition processes throughout the U.S. Government.
CAGE codes are also used outside the United States and its territories under the NATO Codification System (NCS) and are referred to as NATO Commercial and Government Entity, NCAGE Codes. Find more information on how to obtain NCAGE codes here.
The government does not charge for registration, assignment, and maintenance of CAGE Codes. Any company that wants to do business with the Federal Government must register at SAM.gov. During registration, you will be assigned a new CAGE Code if one doesn’t already exist. If you already have one, your information will be updated.
Once your Sam Registration is submitted, information is then routed to DLA for CAGE Code assignment. You can check your registration status with the SAM Status Tracker. Once DLA approves and assigns the code, it is sent back to SAM and included to the Entity Registration.
If you are NOT pursuing business with the Government but require a CAGE Code, you may navigate to the DLA’s website to Request One. The DLA CAGE Program Office is the only authorized source for U.S. CAGE Codes and has up to 10 business days to process all CAGE Requests.
As of August 26, 2016, CAGE Codes are assigned an expiration date of five years from the last update. For now, any Cage Codes updated prior to August 26, 2016 do not have an expiration date assigned.
Updating the CAGE information regularly through SAM or the CAGE office will keep it from expiring.
If you need to Update yours, you can visit the DLA’s CAGE website.
The annual GSA Supply Acquisition Center Industry Days will be held in just a few months. The couple of days will be geared towards those who have a schedule 73, 56, or 66 contract.
The event will take place on: (more…)
As of November 23, 2015, contractors will now be able to upload duplicate Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPNs) to GSA Advantage. With this change, it will be unnecessary to manipulate MPNs when a contractor has multiple manufacturers that happen to have the same MPN. (more…)
On Labor Day, President Obama passed an Executive Order requiring Federal Contractors to provide all employees to paid sick leave. The order establishes a ratio of 1 hour of accumulated sick leave for every 30 hours worked on a Federal contract or seven days a year. (more…)
GSA Interact has recently announced an important update regarding necessary actions to contractors who are migrating over to the Professional Services Schedule (PSS). As you know, the PSS is a new contracting vehicle comprised of existing schedules in hopes to provide customers and contractors with the benefits of streamlined acquisitions.
An advisory mass modification will be issued within 2-3 weeks concerning those who were affected by the new PSS change that took place between August 3rd and August 4th. This modification will help existing schedule contractors’ transition to the 00CORP schedule, which will change into the PSS schedule.
See if your contracts are affected
The mass modification is mandatory for the majority of contract holders, but there are special cases in which a firm should NOT accept the modifications it receives:
Effective October 1, 2015, the subject GSA Schedule contract will convert in its entirety to the PSS.
For more information regarding the modification, please visit GSA Interact’s Website.
To recap, the new Professional Services Schedule (PSS) is a new single Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). It was created to help provide total solutions for complex professional services requirements, as well as eliminating confusion, and saving time by managing only a single schedule.
As mentioned before, the transition for single schedule vendors will take place on October 1st, in the form of a mass mod, for the following contract types:
Should there be any current Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) and Task Orders (TOs), it is recommended that contractors inform customer agencies of the impending migration. GSA posted a helpful document for agencies on interact titled “Handling BPAs and Task Orders (TOs)”.
If there is a BPA established under a single schedule contract, it is preferred that the BPA is transferred over to the new consolidated contract number. Alternatively leaving the BPA as is, will result in the BPA expiring when the single schedule expires.
If you have not completed the migration request modification, it is still required, there is simply not the guarantee that both contracts will be present immediately following the October 1st rollout.
With 2015’s new Congress having settled in, new bills have been proposed, that could have an impact on contracting, programs in VA, and national healthcare. This article will break down the first wave of new bills recently introduced. (more…)
