GSA asked themselves:  “What can we do to provide more flexibility to our customers to use our procurement vehicles?”  The answer?  Sherri Medeama talks about the FAR 51 Deviation Authority and how it helps meet the needs of GSA customer agencies.

GSA has created another contracting tool within the MAS Program to help our customers acquire total solutions, specifically in regard to materials that are incidental to the primary purpose of the order. The FAR 51 deviation allows all GSA contractors to procure items from Schedules and/or the GSA Global Supply Program. This course will discuss how to take advantage of the new ordering flexibility; the purpose and benefits of the deviation; criteria for use; roles and responsibilities; and the process for authorization and order placement.
