If you prefer to purchase on the open market, rather than through the Toshiba GSA Schedule, competitive pricing is also available through your local authorized Toshiba TSD dealer. These dealers can offer you affordable pricing as well as the benefits of Toshiba Financial Services Leasing programs.
GSA MAS Contract Purchases
Through GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), contracts are approved and awarded rapidly. Open to all Federal agencies as well as State and Local organizations, those agencies and vendors who order using MAS contracts receive some unique benefits, including:
Administrative savings and reduced acquisition cost
No synopsis required
Shorter
Compliance with various laws and regulations
Volume purchase prices across an agency
Wider selection of commercial services and products
Access to the latest technology
Clients who qualify for MAS Contract purchases have these additional advantages:

Meet small business goals
Offer easy payment options
Keeps solicitation continuously open
Your Toshiba Government Communications Program dealer can help you determine if your agency is qualified to purchase through GSA MAS Contracts.
For recurring orders, your agency may realize additional savings by establishing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) under your GSA Schedule contract. A BPA streamlines the order process, reduces your administrative efforts by eliminating individual orders and payments, and lets you leverage your agency’s buying power through volume purchases.
Government agencies awarding and administering contracts during emergencies are encouraged to seek out prequalified GSA contractors. Please see the May 2007 Emergency Acquisitions Guide, developed by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy and released by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), available at www.whitehouse.gov/omb/procurement/guides/emergency_
