Competitive prices and discounts
GSA negotiates its fair and reasonable prices based on the aggregated buying power of the federal government. We encourage you to negotiate price reductions, discounts, and concessions, not only for orders over the maximum order threshold, but also when circumstances warrant (see FAR 8.405-4).
Special Item Number (SIN) 132-51, Information Technology Professional Services, includes maximum hourly rates.
GSA Schedules also permit incremental funding if your agency's rules allow it.
Maximum order threshold
Each Schedule has a maximum order threshold, which varies by Special Item Number (SIN). The maximum order threshold is not a limit on spending — industry partners can accept any size order. Rather, it is the dollar amount above which:
- The industry partner can choose not to accept the order
- You must seek a price reduction
For IT Schedule 70's SINs, the maximum order threshold is $500,000, except for Training Courses, which is $25,000.

Flexible contracting and streamlined ordering
GSA Schedules feature combined synopsis and solicitation, saving you time. Schedules also make it easier for you to meet competition in contracting act requirements (see FAR 6.102(d) (3)).
Schedules accept purchase cards, and allow task orders and blanket purchase agreements (BPAs). Industry partners can enhance their offerings and create a total solution through contractor team arrangements. You can also add incidental items (see FAR 8.402 (f)).
