VA Federal Supply Schedule Service

Schedules

Delegated authority by the General Services Administration, the VA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program supports the healthcare acquisition needs of the VA and other government agencies.  Our program manages 9 multiple award Schedule programs for medical equipment, supply, pharmaceutical, and service contracts (FSC 65, 66, and 621).  With over 1,574 contracts and approximately $19 billion in annual sales, the VA FSS Service provides Federal customers with access to over 1 million state-of-the-art commercial products and services.

Like GSA Schedule contracts , the VA Schedules are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts awarded to pre-approved vendors using full and open competition.  Additionally, the FSS program negotiates firm-fixed pricing based on a commercial “most favored customer” pricing concept, including an option for economic price adjustments.  All products and services are state-of-the-art and provide national/worldwide coverage.
