Over 40 million government procurement options are linked to more than 17,000 schedule contracts through MAS (Multiple Award Schedule). Eighty percent of these options are for small businesses. Although it may seem like a lot to find the right contractor, the MAS Program is an easy and cost-effective way to order services via the GSA eLibrary. These steps will help you get a subsidy to train in IT using Learning Credits.

IT Training Scope
GSA MAS offers a wide range of commercial services. GSA groups products, services, or solutions from the same service together to facilitate the acquisition process with a Special Item Number (SIN). The first step in procuring IT Training is to identify the Special Item Numbers (SINs) within the Information Technology Services (70). A SIN under schedule contracts works in the same way as a Contract Line Number (CLIN), under a standard contract. The SIN for Training Courses can be found at 132 50. To be considered within scope, your RFQ must indicate the correct SIN.
Acquisition Process for Services
Each acquisition cycle can be tracked using the MAS program. Schedule orders are the goal of acquisition planning.
