Government & Institutional Contract Purchasing Options

Summary

Your Procurement Edge for Speed, Compliance & Audit Protection

For government, healthcare, education, and institutional buyers, how equipment is purchased is just as important as what is purchased. Contract vehicles control:

  • Compliance
  • Pricing integrity
  • Audit exposure
  • Speed to award
  • Buy American and Trade Agreements Act alignment
  • Inspection and documentation defensibility

Aldevra provides multiple pre-approved contract pathways so agencies can buy faster, safer, and fully compliant—without reinventing procurement.

GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GSA MAS)

The General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule is one of the most widely used federal purchasing vehicles for equipment and services.

Through GSA MAS, federal buyers benefit from:

  • Pre-negotiated, fair and reasonable pricing
  • Streamlined acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8
  • Built-in compliance with federal sourcing rules
  • Faster procurement cycles
  • Reduced protest and audit risk

Best for:
