A Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract available to all Federal agencies world-wide. Agencies place orders directly with the contractor. The middle man has been removed. Interagency Agreements are not required to use Multiple Award Schedules. GWACs are contracts for various business services owned by one Federal agency but all other Federal agencies can use them on a limited basis. The owning (host) agency establishes the maximum value of the contract based on their requirements plus an additional 20% for the use by other agencies.
