Allow GSA Contractors to Select Subcontractors

Posted by GSA Magazine on March 16th, 2021

GSA eLibrary is the one source Federal offices use for the most recent GSA Schedule Contract posting, Schedules data, Special Item Numbers (SINs) and agreement grant data. Check if your contact data, text documents and financial status is current with the goal that potential government clients can undoubtedly contact you. GSA eLibrary is additionally an incredible statistical surveying apparatus used to recognize the name and number of serious sellers and their individual business size by timetable and SIN. This data can be utilized to investigate market openings and potential subcontracting openings.

By permitting industry to choose the subgroups for their contributions, instead of task by the public authority, merchants may appropriately assign their contributions. This will limit erroneous subgroup assignments, and accordingly limit the authoritative weight for adjustments and redresses to plans. Government purchasers will at that point utilize these subgroups to productively find contributions in GSA eBuy and GSA elibrary – to line up with government acquisition exercises.


This capacity to self-distinguish SINs was commended with a GSA update. The accompanying SINs had subgroups added, viable August 1, 2020:

561210FA, 541690E, 332311P, 532490P, 333241, 336999, 333318F, 335999, 325612, 325998, 325611, 54151HACS, 517312, 54151S, 54151ECOM, 511210, 33411, 339940OS4, 541611, 562112, 541211, 522310, 541330ENG, 562910REM, 541930, 541614, 541620, 561621H, 339113LAB, 334515, 334516, 333997, 332439 (SOURCE: http://www.wifcon.com/)

A few SINs (SIN 132-45 SIN and 54151HACS), recently had subgroups that project workers may have distinguished under. Project workers will be needed to restore themselves under these subgroups in the new MAS SIN structure, as past subgroup IDs won't consequently pass on after August 1, 2020. Project workers should sign into eBuy and follow the "alter subcontract" steps to choose their SIN subgroups for both GSA eBuy and GSA elibrary.

By distinguishing explicit and appropriate subgroups in their timetable, Contractors will help their administration clients and Contracting Officers to perform effective and exact statistical surveying. Industry will particularly see this advantage, when the public authority contracting local area has improved capacity to precisely choose organizations to send RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs for the best fit the items/administrations they require. Subgroups WILL NOT bar merchants from seeing all chances posted on GSA eBuy or GSA elibrary; this is an improvement to utilizing the information inside the current framework to profit both government and industry.
