Order-Level MaterialsSIN OLM · Streamlined Direct Task Order Support
Federal contracting officers utilize GSA Multiple Award Schedule Special Item Number OLM (Order-Level Materials) to acquire supplies, software licenses, and direct services necessary to execute primary IT and cybersecurity task orders without conducting duplicative procurements.
What is SIN OLM?
Order-Level Materials are supplies and services acquired in direct support of an individual Task Order or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) placed against a GSA Schedule contract. OLMs provide contracting officers with operational flexibility by allowing incidental items—such as hardware components, specialized cabling, or software licenses—to be included directly within the task order scope under FAR 8.405-1.
Acquired solely to fulfill the primary statement of work, not as a standalone purchase.
OLM expenditures are limited to the established statutory percentage of total task order value.
Subject to contracting officer price reasonableness determinations prior to order placement.
Why Federal Agencies Use OLM
Without SIN OLM, procuring small incidental hardware or specialized software tools required during a cybersecurity or IT project would require separate open-market solicitations. With SIN OLM authorized on eTrepid's schedule, contracting officers can bundle these direct materials into the task order seamlessly.
