How to Use CDM CMaaS

How to Use CDM CMaaS:

Ordering guide and eligibility requirements can be requested and will be provided via email at cdm@gsa.gov.

The CDM Tools/CMaaS BPAs were established using GSA Multiple Award IT Schedule 70 pricing as a benchmark to establish the initial discounts for the BPAs, as well as tiered discounts based on cumulative quantities. A Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI)-like reporting mechanism was built into the BPAs, with quarterly reporting of sales, to track usage and to ensure volume discounts are achieved by all users of the BPAs over the life of the program. The BPAs were established with broad accessibility, to allow for greater usage to achieve better pricing and greater discounts.

GSA’s role in the project is to provide BPAs that will allow DHS to centrally oversee the procurement, operations, and maintenance of diagnostic sensors (tools) and dashboards deployed to each agency. GSA/FAS/AAS/FEDSIM will provide management of the BPAs, as well as an Assisted Acquisitions capacity for those customers who need assistance on orders against the BPAs.

Customers can also order directly off of the BPAs via a Delegation of Procurement Authority from the GSA/FAS/AAS/FEDSIM Contracting Officer.
