How to pursue GSA MAS

1. Confirm SAM.gov registration. Active SAM.gov entity registration is required, plus a UEI.
2. Identify target Special Item Numbers (SINs). Browse GSA eLibrary to find SINs that match what you sell. Most vendors fit 1-5 SINs across 1-2 large categories.
3. Complete the Pathways to Success training. GSA's free Pathways to Success program is required before you can submit.
4. Prepare commercial price list and discount practice. GSA negotiates against your most-favored-customer pricing — document your discount practices carefully.
5. Submit via eOffer. All proposals are electronic. Expect multiple rounds of clarification before award.
