GSA offers purchasing resources and support for state and local governments

During the ongoing COVID-19 emergency, the U.S. General Services Administration is reminding state, local, tribal and regional governments that they may obtain goods and services directly from GSA sources during a public health emergency and disaster response/recovery efforts.

Eligible state and local entities have access to MAS, also known as Schedules, under the following programs:
• Disaster Purchasing: Access to all MAS available offerings under Schedule (consolidated MAS and all legacy Schedules) for emergency/disaster preparation, emergency/disaster response, or major disaster recovery in support of a Stafford Act declaration from the President.
• Public Health Emergency (PHE): Access to all offerings on Schedule (consolidated MAS and all legacy Schedules), when expending Federal grant funds in response to Public Health Emergencies declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 319 of the Public Health Services Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. Sec. 247d.
• Cooperative Purchasing: Access to information technology and law enforcement and security solutions, identified by Special Item Number (SIN) in support of everyday missions.
• 1122 Program: Access to specific SINs and Department of Defense items to purchase products in support of emergency response and homeland security (most limiting program because it requires a designated State Point of Contact (SPOC) and has limited items available).
