Is it easier for agencies to buy off a GSA schedule than open market

Posted by Robert Kelly on Dec 2, 2010 7:44:00 PM

When acquiring commercial supplies/services covered by GSA Schedule contracts, is it really easier to purchase from GSA Schedule contracts, as opposed to procuring on the open market?

Purchasing from GSA Schedule contracts offers the following advantages over procuring on the open market:
  • GSA has determined prices under Schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable.
  • Synopses are not required for Schedule purchases, with the exception of Schedule orders (including orders issued under BPAs) of $25,000 or more using Recovery Act funds.
  • Schedule contracts have been awarded in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
  • Administrative time is reduced.
  • Schedule contracts offer a wide selection of state-of-the-art commercial supplies and services.
