Federal Supply Schedule Program

FSS contracting exposes contractors to a variety of risks, most notably compliance requirements related to the price-adjustment clause. Violations of the price-adjustments clause (inadequate proposal disclosures) and price-reductions clause violations (inadequate contract period disclosures) can lead to significant refunds, fines, and penalties. 

Huron can help your organization address the challenges associated with government contracting through the GSA and VA Federal Supply Schedule program. Drawing upon our extensive experience, we can help you effectively manage the regulatory compliance risks connected with FSS contracts. We couple regulatory expertise with deep data mining and technology skills; have worked with FSS contractors in many industries, including electronics, office furniture and equipment, medical equipment, devices, supplies, and pharmaceuticals; and have managed and analyzed large volumes of information. The seamless integration of these capabilities enables us to effectively and efficiently assist you with your FSS-related needs throughout the contracting lifecycle.

• Pre-award/Proposal Assistance: We help you establish appropriate baseline information during the proposal stage to help you minimize both the potential for inadequate disclosure and price-adjustment clause violations, as well as the corresponding price-reduction risk after contract award.
• Contract Period/Post-Award Disclosure Matters: We help to ensure that your systems and procedures effectively monitor and identify instances of sales transactions that do not comply with the Price Adjustment Clause requirements.
• Audit, Dispute, or Investigation Response and Rebuttal: We can help you respond to government audit or investigation findings where noncompliance has been alleged. This includes assistance with the preparation of voluntary disclosures and other dispute-related matters.
