MSC Associates, Inc. (MSCA) is a small Virginia company, incorporated in 1988. MSCA specializes in developing and delivering training courses related to service contracting for operation, maintenance, and support of facilities. We also provide consulting service in support of OMB Circular A-76 Cost Studies, primarily in the area of requirements package preparation. MSCA has developed and delivered a number of technical courses such as Construction Specification Writing, Elevator Maintenance, Fire Protection Engineering, Sprinkler System Design, and Job Order Contracting. However, in recent years, the thrust of our business has been in the areas of management, organization, and business improvement in response to the renewed emphasis placed on the Government-wide policy of contracting for services using Performance-Based Services Acquisition (PBSA) techniques. Even before "PBSA" and its predecessor, "PBSC", were coined as terms describing the policy, MSCA was an adherent of and participant in teaching the basics of performance based contracting as embodied in the policies of the the Federal Governent. During the last five years, MSCA has delivered more than 60 weeks of training in PBSA related topics and we have assisted several federal organizations in writing performance work statements, quality assurance surveillance plans, and related solicitation documentation.

MSCA is in its second five year option period of a Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded by the General Services Administration (GSA) for Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS). This multiple award schedule contract was created by GSA to improve the quality, timeliness and efficiency of services provided by the Federal Government. Contractors providing services under the MOBIS contract are listed in the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) for easy access by users of Multiple Award Schedules.
