General Services Administration Contracting
Akin assists technology companies and other businesses on all aspects of General Services Administration (GSA) contracting and obtaining Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts. From advising on compliance requirements to responding to investigations focused on the GSA schedules, our lawyers handle a wide range of GSA contracting matters.
Our lawyers routinely advise clients on acquisitions of commercial items by federal agencies and contractors. We advise on the complete life cycle of an FSS contract, including on the structuring of the contract and significant risk areas, including Commercial Sales Practices (CSP) disclosures, Transactional Data Reporting (TDR), and compliance with the Price Reduction Clause and Trade Agreement Act.
In addition, we assist clients on audits and other oversight activity conducted by the GSA and other regulatory bodies overseeing FSS contracts. When needed, we perform internal investigations and advise on any disputes arising from transactions. We have advised multiple clients on False Claims Act (FCA) matters related to FSS contracts.
Our lawyers also design compliance and training programs, including as related to most favored customer pricing compliance and the Multiple Award Schedule Program.
