The Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation Refresh Frenzy | GSA Refresh 12

For all GSA Schedule holders, you may have noticed an increase of activity from GSA pushing multiple refreshes. Only a few months after Refresh 10 and Refresh 11, GSA Schedule Consultants at Coley are gearing up for the upcoming Refresh 12 and 13. GSA noted in a live webinar that although refresh 12 is set to be issued on May 16, 2022, there will not be a Mass Mod requiring acceptance, rather GSA will hold the mass mod release until Refresh 13 is posted. GSA did not provide details on what would be included in refresh 13 or when it would be posted.
