The GSA MAS program offers a wide-range of commercial services. Within each service GSA groups similar products, services, and solutions together to aid in the acquisition process using a Special Item Number (SIN). The first step to procurement of IT Training is to identify the Special Item Number (SIN) within the Information Technology Services (70) category. A SIN under schedule contracts is similar to a Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) under a standard contract. The SIN for Training Courses is 132 50. Your RFQ needs to indicate the correct SIN to be considered in scope.
When using the MAS program to acquire services there are milestones for each acquisition cycle. For schedule orders, the goals for acquisition planning are to:
The Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy have mandated that agencies use Performance Base Acquisitions (PBA). PBA facilitates developing a strategic linkage to mission needs increasing the likelihood of meeting them. This creates potential for better value and enhanced performance.

If you are looking to simplify this process or when looking for technology training, consult a NHDoD expert to discuss the SIN and scope of your task.
