- How were these Schedule contracts affected?
On Oct. 1, 2015, the above-referenced eight Schedules were merged into one single Professional Services Schedule (PSS) under GSA 00CORP. Contracting Officers will see a similar SIN structure yet under one Schedule rather than eight. The new PSS gives access to a similar expert administrations and contractual workers, however in one single Schedule contract.
To accomplish this change GSA took two regulatory activities:
Contractual workers who held at least two heritage Schedule contracts had their agreements converged into one — the new Professional Services Schedule (00CORP). Two-sided changes for 343 affected organizations were finished and each organization was given one new PSS contract number. Furthermore, the time of execution for these agreements was revived, for a base five-year duration with three five-year alternatives.

Contracting officials should choose the SIN without the “C” to guarantee that the RFQ is arriving at all temporary workers that are granted the SIN.
- In the event that an organization was influenced by the “relocation” process, by what means will government clients realize what agreement number to utilize? Will the substitution contract number be in FPDS?
In the event that a firm had at least two agreements under any of the influenced Schedules, they were required to “move” their agreement into a GSA 00CORP agreement. The agreement number is assigned with a “GS-00F” contract number that came about because of the movement procedure.
In e-Library, the GSA Advantage content document for any contractual worker that was influenced by the relocation procedure will contain the accompanying warning articulation and framework at the top: The substitution contract number will be in FPDS.
