  Alot of construction MATOC's are now being set aside 100% to HUBZOnes and 8a's. Based on this reasoning I do not see how. What is the differance between setting a side an entire MATOC as apposed to an individual task order?

  Hi Charles -
  
  Thanks very much for the comment!
  
  This post (in fact this entire blogsite) is about orders against GSA Multiple Award Schedule ("Federal Supply Schedule") contracts. There is no authority for setting aside any of those MAS orders.
  
  Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) are very different and are NOT GSA Multiple Award Schedules. Included within the MAS program are just those Schedules listed under the pulldown menu "Federal Supply Schedule Listing" at http://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov
  
  
  A MATOC not only could be for construction (something outside the scope of the GSA Multiple Award Schedules program) but a MATOC order could be set-aside in accordance with that MATOC. In contrast, a GSA MAS contract is awarded under FAR Part 38 with the orders issued under FAR SubPart 8.4. As a result of this very different contracting authority, there is no regulatory or contractual basis on which to set-aside a MAS order.
  
  Thanks again,
  Dave Clemens

  I think this great information is much needed by agencies and should be available on GSA's Schedules website. Perhaps a condensed version could be included as a topic under "For Customers Ordering from Schedules."

     But condensed is for soup, not procurement.
