FAS Launches New MAS Contract Modification Process |
FAS establishes a transformational process for MAS Contract Administration: the establishment of Central Intake Desks (CID). A CID is located at each MAS Acquisition Center for the receipt of all incoming paper and email modification requests. Some of the Program-wide enhancements include automated standardized letters for clarifications, rejections, and withdrawals. Additionally, updates to eMod were made to better facilitate electronic submissions of modification requests including updates to modification types and subtypes for better clarity. The MAS Program strongly encourages eMod for all MAS Contract Administration. However, if you are still submitting your modification requests via paper or email, the CID will greatly improve and expedite the process. Please continue to direct all your MAS contract and modification questions to your MAS Contracting Officer. To submit a paper modification to the appropriate CID, please return to the Vendor Support Center (VSC) home page and under the Central Intake Desk (CID) click on the link for instructions on where to submit a paper modification request for your MAS contract. Also, if you would like to submit an eMod, or if your schedule mandates eMod only, please click on the eMod instructions as they provide all the electronic updates to the eMod system for submitting eMods. In January 2008, GSA/FAS conducted the 1st Kaizen event as part of a Lean Six Sigma Process Improvement project - the MAS Modification Transformation Program. This event consisted of a week long workshop where representatives from all MAS portfolios worked together to develop process improvements that specifically addressed modification processing inconsistencies. The 1st Kaizen team’s recommendations are already transforming how MAS contract modification requests are processed and awarded. Thank You and Happy Contracting. |
