Agenda
• Background on PSS Consolidation
• Timeframe for Rollout
• Migration Package Details
• Expected Challenges
• Items to keep in Mind

4. 4
Why is this Important?
• GSA is actively working to consolidate eight GSA Schedules
into one Schedule that will encompass a wide range of
professional services.
• In addition to the eight Schedules, SIN 595-21 on the HR &
Equal Opportunity Services Schedule and SIN 132-51 on the IT
Schedule will also be affected.
• Contractors with these impacted Schedules need to be
prepared for the coming changes.

5. 5
• In order to eliminate administrative burdens and make the
Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program more efficient and
effective, the GSA will be migrating eight Schedules into one.
The new Schedule will be referred to as the Professional
Services Multiple Award Schedule or PSS for short.
• The Consolidated (00CORP) Schedule will be rebranded and
provide the platform for the new PSS. Consequently, 00CORP
contractors with product SINs will be required to remove those
SINS and obtain the corresponding host Schedule.
Background

6. 6
• The migration of multiple Schedules will assist in reducing scope
overlap across multiple GSA Schedules
• Make it easier to determine which GSA Schedule is the best fit
for your organization
• Allow agencies to utilize single GSA Schedules to acquire a total
solution
• Simplify the management of multiple GSA Schedules, such as
the contract’s minimum sales requirement, and reducing the
need to submit separate offers for professional services with
simple modifications

the new PSS contract.
o Vendors that maintain SIN 132-51 or 595-21 and one (or more) of the eight directly
affected Schedules will have the option of modifying their new PSS Contract with
these particular SINs, once it is in place.
o Vendors with a Consolidated Schedule and the above listed SINs will simply
transition to the new PSS Contract.

Timeframe
• Removal of all non professional services SINs from the
Consolidated Schedules program *
• GSA provides “migration” package instructions to firms who hold
two or more contracts to be migrated into 00CORP *
• Migration packages must be submitted to GSA for review *
• Migration package evaluation and award of 00CORP contract
• Professional Services Solicitation to be issued (converting
00CORP to PSS) and mass modification to be initiated migrating
all impacted single Schedule holders to PSS
GSA has stated this is a tight deadline that might be postponed.
• Complete consolidation of current applicable Schedules
* Note: If you have not been contacted by GSA on these items,
please reach out to your CO immediately!

10. 10
• If you have not submitted your migration package for review,
this needs to be completed ASAP!
• The December 31, 2014 timeframe for submission is a soft
deadline.
• Include a list of all active Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)
and active task orders with option periods and end dates.
• This process is meant to transfer over existing terms and
conditions only. If you are aware of changes that need to be
made to your contract, those changes should be requested via
a mod after the consolidated contract is processed.
Migration Package Details

11. 11
• Should new Proposals submitted under an
impacted Schedule prior to the release of the PSS
Solicitation be submitted under the 00CORP
Solicitation?
• What should vendors with pending proposals not
assigned to a CO at the time of the PSS
Solicitation be aware of?
Anticipated Challenges Based on
Lack of Clarification

12. 12
• No change to the contract number
• No change to SINs
• Performance period will remain unchanged
• Terms and conditions of contracts will remain
unchanged
Single GSA Schedule Holders

13. 13
• Change to the contract number due to migration
• Terms and conditions will remain the same unless there
is duplication in pricing, labor categories or escalation
rates, resulting in new negotiations
• New established period of performance of one base
period plus three option periods
Contractors with Multiple Services Schedules

14. 14
• Migration Package - Minimum Sales Termination
• GSA originally stated contractors that did not meet the $25,000
annual sales minimum would have their contract cancelled as
part of the transition to PSS. This has been waived.
• Migration Package – What about Contract Modifications?
• Include statement in current bids under your existing GSA Schedules
addressing contract migration
• 03FAC Energy Management SINs – to be included in PSS as well?
Additional Items to Look Out For

15. 15
What challenges might arise from migrating your contract(s) to the
new Professional Services Schedule?
o Justify overlapping labor categories
o Renegotiate your Economic Price Adjustment
o Track separate Tasks Orders with varying EPAs and contract
numbers
o Re-upload your pricelist to GSA Advantage!
What Challenges Might Arise from the Migration?

16. 16
• What if a firm already has an 00CORP contract but they also
have a single schedule contract? Do they Migrate?
No! There is no need to migrate since the firm already holds an
00CORP which will converted to PSS. Instead, a firm should
submit a modification to add the SINs from the single schedule
contract to the 00CORP contract.
• Can a firm migrate their IT 70 or 738X SINs - 132-51 or 595-
21?
No! A firm must first migrate the affected program contracts (e.g.
MOBIS, PES, Language, Environmental, Logworld, FABS, AIMS)
then MODIFY the new contract TO ADD SIN(s)
