The GSA Schedules program is all about the opportunity to grow your Federal business and increase Federal contracting. Many firms have grown their GSA Sales tremendously as they grow beyond one or two initial government contracts.
It is widely used by Federal Agencies, as is depicted in the chart below. In Fiscal Year 2016 (ended September 30, 2016) GSA Schedule sales was about $31 billion, plus another $15 billion in VA sales.
While there are many other types of government contracts available to businesses, having a GSA contract (or VA contract for medical products and services) is an essential tool in your federal marketing toolbox. This is especially true if you are a small business with few or no other government contracts.
