Texas Multiple Awards Schedule (TXMAS)
Only agencies of the State of Texas or members of the TBPC Cooperative Purchasing Program may purchase from this TXMAS contract.
Texas Procurement and Support Services (TPASS) has established, as an alternative purchasing method, the use of Texas multiple award schedule (TXMAS) contracts that have been developed from contracts awarded by the federal government or any other government entity of any state.
As the responsible federal entity, the General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Service awards federal supply schedule contracts by competitive procurement procedures for more than 50 schedules, covering multiple commodities and services. The prices on GSA schedule contracts are the most favored customer (MFC) prices and the maximum price allowed.
TXMAS contracts take advantage of the MFC pricing and, under certain circumstances, an agency or local government entity may negotiate a lower price for the goods or services offered on a schedule contract. A "best value" purchase can be made by following the TXMAS purchasing procedures.
