How to Use This Schedule

GSA has established this Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) to allow customers to expedite the procurement process by prequalifying contractors that provide professional services. GSA has already reviewed and approved contractor qualifications, cost schedules, small and disadvantaged business subcontracting plans, and other contract requirements so that you don't have to. This streamlined system makes it faster and easier for you to select qualified contractors who best support your needs. You retain control of your project by dealing directly with the contractor, and are ensured long-term support by the five-year duration of FSS contracts.

Using the schedule for MOBIS, you can now access ERG in just a few steps.

Step 1
Provide your Contracting Officer (CO) with your Statement of Work (SOW) and any special terms and conditions of delivery you need. Be sure to include a description of the work required, a schedule for delivery of the work, and a location for delivery and inspection of the work.

Step 2
The CO will then issue your SOW to three contractors approved to provide professional services.

Step 3
You and the CO review the contractors' responses and rates to determine the best value of the three.

Step 4
The CO issues a contract order to the selected contractor, using their FSS contract.
