Only if you negotiate a lower price for an MAS product based on the volume you are purchasing or your agency has an existing BPA with the contractor, can you reduce the price of a product. If you click the "reduce price" link available beneath the Unit Price, you will be required to enter the name of a contractor representative, cite a BPA number, or other number giving you authorization to lower the price.

Shipping is included in most prices, but is not included for products that are "FOB Origin". Origin pricing is common for larger items such as furniture but can also be found for smaller items. Shipping costs will be added to the invoice by GSA or an MAS contractor. A message will alert you if the product you are purchasing is FOB Origin.

NOTE: Since GSA does not collect contractor's shipping charges for FOB Origin products, you may want to contact the contractor directly to obtain specific charges before committing to an FOB Origin purchase.

Click on "NSN/Mfr. Part No/" for a product to display product details.

If you are purchasing a large quantity or if you are interested in a service, GSA e-Buy could better serve your needs. GSA e-Buy is an online Request for Quote (RFQ) tool that streamlines the procurement process for complex, large-volume requirements. e-Buy easily allows buyers to make best value decisions based on quotes submitted by contractors. To use this electronic quote system click on the e-Buy link in the top banner or go to www.ebuy.gsa.gov. You may also transfer items from your cart into e-Buy by selecting the "Get a Quote (e-Buy)" checkbox, then clicking "Checkout".

Enter "0" in the Qty box for the products you want to remove and click "Update Cart".

Click the "Park Cart" button to save your shopping cart. Save your cart if you want to forward it to someone or if you simply want to save your cart items now so you can continue shopping later. Once you have clicked "Park Cart", you will then be required to provide a cart name. Providing a password for parked carts is always optional. Please note that prices are subject to change, and may be different when you retrieve your cart.

The Contract Minimum message will display if your order is below the minimum order for an item. Minimum order for GSA stocked items (NSNs) is 1.

Minimum order for MAS items is displayed on the Product Detail page. This minimum is based on the order size under a single contract. If you are below the minimum, you will be prompted at the shopping cart to increase your quantity or remove that particular item from your cart.

The Contract Maximum message will display if your order is above the maximum order for an item. When ordering from MAS, it is highly recommended that you seek price reductions if your requirement exceeds the maximum order threshold established for that contract. The size of such an order may warrant a request for a price reduction. The maximum order varies from contract to contract and is listed on every MAS contractor's price list and in GSA Advantage (under the Product Detail). In response to your request for a price reduction, the contractor may offer a lower price, offer the current contract price or decline the order. If further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed. When using GSA Advantage, if your order is larger than the schedule Maximum Order threshold, you will be prompted to seek a price reduction. Again, if further price reductions are not offered, the order may still be placed.
