GSA Contract Self-Assessment Toolkit

  
  
  
  
  

Getting on the GSA schedule provides many opportunities for getting government contracts and significantly increasing revenues. A GSA contract:

  • Shortens the time for Agencies to issue contracts to you
  • Increases opportunities
  • Minimizes Federal contracting issues
  • Provides marketing cache
  • Expandable to state and local governments under some circumstances.
  • Provides you with GSA marketing support

Small businesses account for about 65% of all GSA contract holders, and for good reason, it’s the Swiss knife of federal contracts that allow you to sell to any federal agency and other related organizations. That’s why the largest prime contractors usually get several GSA Schedule Contracts

But obtaining a GSA schedule contract may not be for everyone, and not everyone may qualify.

What is the primary first step one should take after receiving GSA schedule- e.g., sent contracting officers information about your products and services.

Thanks for your comment/question Dennis. My first suggestion would be to take care of some basic but important first steps, such as preparing your pricelist, uploading to GSA Advantage and other steps outlined here: http://www.turbogsa.com/blog/bid/51258/You-received-you-GSA-Contract-Award-Now-what. Then it’s important to plan your GSA marketing strategy by deciding whether your products/services (and available marketing resources) lend themselves to traditional marketing methods to push your message out, or would newer marketing methods to attract Federal clients to you would be better. There are several blog posts about these topics with more on the way so please subscribe to be informed when new tips and articles are posted. 
Happy New Year,
