The GSA Schedule, in plain federal English.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (commonly called the GSA Schedule, or MAS) is a long-term, government-wide contract administered by the U.S. General Services Administration. It pre-negotiates fair-and-reasonable pricing, terms and conditions on behalf of every federal buyer, and increasingly state, local and tribal buyers under cooperative purchasing.^[1]

For DayDefense, the Schedule converts a fragmented procurement landscape — translation, interpretation, transcription, localization, and language analysis — into a single ordering channel. A contracting officer can place a delivery order, blanket purchase agreement, or task order under our award without conducting a full open-market competition, in line with FAR Subpart 8.4.^[2]

"The Schedule is not a list. It is a pre-negotiated, audited, lawfully-bounded ordering channel — a Constitutional shortcut for contracting officers under time pressure."

DayDefense delivers under contract 47QRAA24D001H, an indefinite-delivery vehicle issued under the consolidated GSA MAS solicitation (47QSMD20R0001). The award is published on GSA eLibrary and orderable through GSA Advantage! and GSA eBuy.^[3]

The contract is administered by GSA's Federal Acquisition Service. Modifications, price-list refreshes, and clauses are publicly viewable in eLibrary, providing every contracting officer a transparent audit trail for due-diligence and determination of fair and reasonable price.

SIN 541930 covers translation of written, electronic and multimedia materials, on-site and remote interpretation, sign-language services, transcription, and ancillary linguist support such as cultural advisory and language analysis.^[4] Within that scope, DayDefense fields four operational lines:

Coverage spans 200+ languages and dialects, including all Department of Defense Strategic Language List entries. Linguists are credentialed to ATA, ASTM F2089, and DOD-aligned standards as applicable.

Under FAR 8.405-1 and 8.405-2, contracting officers may issue orders against DayDefense's Schedule directly, with limited or no further competition depending on dollar threshold and complexity. Three ordering paths are available:

1. 01
   GSA Advantage!

   For commodity-style document translation orders within published catalog rates, COs may issue an order on GSA Advantage! against contract 47QRAA24D001H.

2. 02
   GSA eBuy RFQ

   For complex requirements (e.g., multi-language interpretation across multiple sites, classified deliverables, or BPAs), publish an RFQ on eBuy under SIN 541930. DayDefense responds with technical and price proposal within 5 business days, standard.

3. 03
   Direct Task Order

   Federal buyers with an existing customer relationship may issue a task order or BPA call directly to DayDefense. We provide draft SOW templates, NTE pricing tables, and CDRL frameworks on request.

Cooperative purchasing is open under the Disaster Recovery Purchasing program and the Cooperative Purchasing program for state, local and tribal entities, where eligible.^[5]

Trust in federal language services is regulated, audited and continuous. DayDefense maintains the following posture across our contracts:
