GSA Schedule

The GSA Schedule is a federal contracting program administered by the US General Services Administration (GSA).  It is so popular that over $38 billion dollars in purchase orders and task orders were awarded last year.  The more formal names for this program are Federal Supply Schedules and Multiple Award Schedules (MAS).
 
A GSA Schedule is available for firms that sell commercial products and services, and a VA Schedule, run by the Veteran's Administration, manages medical equipment, supplies and services.

What is a GSA Schedule

A GSA Schedule is a five-year government contract that allows a company to sell its products at pre-determined prices to any Federal agency as well as State and local governments under certain circumstances. It has options for 3 additional five-year options so it is potentially a 20-year federal contract. 
 
Receiving a GSA schedule minimizes or does away with the conventional Federal RFP practice which can save your firm significant time and speed up the time it takes to receive government orders.  You will become a preferred vendor of the government once you become part of the GSA Program.  
 
The GSA Schedule contract does not guarantee success, as you must still sell to the individual agencies, but it does make it easier for agencies to buy from your company.  If you want to be a successful government contractor, then this is a must-have tool. 
 
Obtaining a GSA Schedule is a complicated process as the government tries to determine if your firm firm meets its criteria for what they term a responsible vendor.
