Question. Can the buying contractor add any additional markup/fee onto the items procured under the FAR 51 authority, even if the fee is associated with a legitimate cost like a material handling charge? Answer: No. The items procured under the authority must be passed through to the Federal Government at the MAS contract price less any applicable discount. No markup of any kind is permitted on this portion of the order. Question: Can the buying contractor use GSA e-Buy to satisfy the requirements of FAR 8.405-1? Answer: Not yet. GSA intends to make the necessary modifications to e-Buy to permit use by contractors in the near future. It’s also possible that GSA will mandate e-Buy or other electronic tools; however, at the moment, these tools are not available for contractor use.
