<p><b>You need a GSA schedule: </b>
<ul><li>They are the preferred source, by regulation, for federal purchases.
<li>Contracting officers, federal purchasers and vendors find them very quick and easy to use.
<li>A Schedule contract is the only way to close a purchase transaction of more than $25,000 (other than the lengthy and expensive public bid process or participating as a subcontractor to a prime contractor).
<li>Vendors are finding that contracting officers are requesting that they obtain a Schedule contract to do business with their office.
<li>The use of Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts (which contain pre-approved price lists) is becoming increasingly more popular. As a practical matter, MAS contracts - other than those under the GSA Schedule program - are available only for large businesses. At present, none of the MAS contracts have small-business set asides (with the exception of GSA Schedules).</ul>
<P>
To become a GSA approved
contractor, a vendor must first submit an offer in response to the applicable
GSA Schedule solicitation. The GSA proposal document you must submit for approval
is a lengthy and complicated document; you can see for yourself by visiting
the <a href = "http://www.gsa.gov"><b>GSA.gov</b></a> site and downloading the schedule that fits your business. </ul>
<p>Many of our <a href="http://www.fedmarket.com/seminars/testimonials_eLab.shtml?cid=1212010401-90634"><b>past eLab
attendees</b></a> have stated that they had been working on their GSA schedule proposal
for over a year. Because of its unpleasantness it is
the easiest thing on your task list to postpone. Yet it weighs and weighs
and lingers in your mind.
