These kinds of adjustments are an essential part of managing GSA contracts and keep your agreement current and compliant. At every level, our experts will assist you with the task at hand.

What Are GSA Schedule Contract Modifications?

The GSA Schedule is intended to be a dynamic document that develops along with your company. Everything from administrative points of contact to the prices and descriptions of goods and services is subject to change by contractors. Contractors may request that changes be made to the following:

Product, service, labor category. Special Item Number (SIN) may be added or removed.
Pricing based on market malcutatons or net costs.
Product or service descriptions and part numbers.
Contract novation or new name to the company Contract’s terms and conditions, which could cover a wide range of provisions.

What You Need to Know After Your Modification Is Awarded?

It is the contractor’s responsibility to update their GSA Advantage!/ eLibrary price list and catalog file after the GSA awards an eMod via either the Schedules Input Program (SIP) or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Contractors must update their price list and catalog files, to include all awarded adjustments to the contract’s pricing and/or terms and conditions, as well as the most recent modification number and its effective date.
Depending on the circumstances, the CO/CS might occasionally only grant part of your modification request; thus it’s crucial to refer to the related Standard Form 30 (SF-30) to make sure your pricelist upload complies with the modification award. Usually, revised price lists and catalog files need to be uploaded within 30 days of the change.

Testimonials

Price Reporter recently helped us with our 3rd GSA contract, the 2nd they did with us. It was the fastest we’ve ever been through the process with GSA. Each step was easy because the ground work was done before we were asked to do anything. Our pricing verification phase went smooth and quickly and both our contracts were accepted without rejection, with minimal negotiations with contracting.

George McCullough, Director of Sales and Business Development, Darley

Testimonials

We first learned about the DOD EMALL a couple years ago from Price Reporter. We decided to move forward on it in 2016. I would recommend them based on the following items:

They split the payment. Half upfront and the other half is only charged should DOD EMALL contract be awarded to you.
Adding Price Reporter, specifically Andrey Karpov and Igor London, as agents on our GSA schedule streamlined the process. They were able to communicate with our GSA Contracting Officer to ensure that we received what we needed for DOD EMALL from GSA. This saved time on my end and sped up the process.
They provide a list of everything you need. Andrey and the rest of his team are meticulous and understand the process on how to get a DOD EMALL contract and thus we benefited from their expertise.

These are a few of the reasons why I would recommend Price Reporter, Inc. Thank you!

Testimonials

For the past 10 years, Price Reporter has been providing us with exceptional service for the maintaining of our GSA office supplies contract. They have updated our files on a very timely basis. They have provided modifications when required. For a number of years, they had been giving us a price algorithm where each of our items were priced more than our cost and a penny below the next competitor. A very unique position that gave us thousands of government orders – that was prior to the GSA FSSI BPA.
And for all the service given, their cost was far less than any other consulting firm that we had contacted or worked with over the years.
I would highly recommend their service to any small business that is either interested in getting into the federal government arena or who wants to have their contract maintained at a most highly professional level.
Thank you for supporting a VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS.

We are extremely grateful for all your help in guiding us through the whole process, as this was all new to us.

Your knowledge and assistance was invaluable and very much appreciated, and we look forward to a continued excellent relationship.

Testimonials

Without Price Reporter contacting me at the right time, GSA would probably cancel my contract already. The CO said that she contacted us back in November of 2016, but got no response. Then Price Reporter called me and helped me with all the things needed and I followed his advise. That’s how we found out that our contract will be terminated soon, but had enough time to take the corrective action. The CO called us recently and it looks like they will extend our contract life. Thanks so much for your timely follow up – Price Reporter gave our Government sales a new hope!

GSA CONTRACT MODIFICATION PROCESS & SUPPORT

GSA Contract modification is a process of changing pricing, extending your product list, changing administrative information, like the name of the company or website address, or adjusting business size if it has changed since the beginning of the contract.

Adding new SINs to your contract or maintaining compliance of products and services also requires following the GSA contract modification procedure. Price Reporter offers GSA Contract Modification support to help you make the necessary updates to your existing GSA Schedule contract with virtually no effort, and in the shortest possible time spans. With minimum involvement from you, we will streamline the entire contract modification process and make sure the GSA approves your modification request. Here is how we do this:

Initial assessment and goal setting

Our cooperation starts with reviewing your company, your GSA contract, and modifications you would like to make to it. We would discuss what exact changes you need to make and why, examine the necessary documents and requirements, and explain every single detail of the process to you and your staff.

Development of modification

At Price Reporter, we have a team of experts who will thoroughly analyze your solicitation documents and develop the most optimal way to make modifications to your GSA contract. We also help you prepare the necessary documentation for modifications, making sure everything the GSA requires is included in the mod.

Post eMod submission support

After you prepare and submit the mod via the eMod system, we continue tracking your GSA contract modification and assist you in your cooperation with the assigned GSA Contracting Officer, for faster and effortless approval. You’ll learn exactly what every official request from the CO means, and how to correctly respond to it, in order to expedite approval. With Price Reporter you can rest assured that your modification procedure will run as you expect and without issues.

GSA CONTRACT MODIFICATION TYPES

There are a number of typical situations when you are required to submit a modification to your GSA contract. The main contract modifications are:

1. Administrative revisions

Whenever your company goes through some kind of organizational changes, you are required to submit an administrative modification. Common causes are:

Changes in postal address or email address
Company name change
Industrial Funding Fee change
Fax change
Points of Contact for dealers, manufacturers, agents change

2. New product or services addition

A real-world company rarely sticks to the same products and/or services for years. If you need to add a new commercially available model of your product, or include a new SIN to your contract, this type of GSA contract modification would be warranted.

3. Deletion of products

Products eventually get outdated, discontinued or simply give way for newer products. To remove outdated products that you do not offer on the commercial market anymore from your GSA Schedule contract, you need to submit a deletion modification.

4. Price reductions

You are required to submit a price reduction modification if your commercial prices have decreased. Therefore, your GSA prices must also be reduced accordingly. The Economic Price Adjustment Clause I-FSS-969 requires GSA contractors to offer their best possible prices to the GSA.

5. Economic Price Adjustment

Contractors can legitimately increase prices at which they sell their products and services to the GSA. This is called Economic Price Adjustment. The common reason for this modification is when GSA prices no longer adequately reflect your prices on the commercial market. Surely, the modification submission must include enough evidence for such an adjustment.

6. Technical changes

This type of modification governs changes in a product’s part number, description, and changes in description of services. Note that submitting a technical change mod is required even if you just need to fix a typo in the description of a product.

7. Terms and conditions modification

This is to reflect changes in ways your business interacts with the GSA, within scope of the GSA contract. For instance, you may decide to participate in Cooperative Purchasing or Disaster Purchasing, or be compelled to adjust your subcontracting conditions.

8. Company name change

If your company changes its name, or structure, for instance, by merging with another company, you should submit a Contract Novation modification. Our lawyers will guide you through all the obstacles and pitfalls of novation while keeping your GSA Schedule contract active.

9. Mass modification

MassMod is a government-initiated mass modification of Schedule to reflect some global changes in the way the government deals with GSA contracts. One of the latest examples of Mass Modification is the recent GSA MAS Consolidation in 2020.

10. Cancellation

Premature cancellation of a GSA contract also requires submitting a corresponding GSA Contract Modification, called Cancellation Mod.

GSA MODIFICATION PARTICULAR CHALLENGES

While submitting GSA contract modifications can in theory be done without third-party assistance, practice shows that businesses struggle to do this on their own, due to a number of challenges, such as:

Each type of modification has its own schedule you should take into account when submitting the mod. Also, individual contracting officers often have varying approaches to how vendors should work with modifications.
Submitting GSA contract modification requires a digital certificate. Also, all submissions must be made through the eMod system which has its own peculiarities.
Modifying a contract is different from submitting your proposal for the first time. Even if you had experience in obtaining a GSA Schedule in the past, modifying your contract is another story.
Without deep understanding of the GSA inner processes, modifications can take a lot longer than they should vs. when done with assistance of Price Reporter specialists. Our experience will save you a lot of hours and save you the frustration.
