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 1,700 contracts and approximately $16 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.
