<p><b>How? </b>Start the work required to obtain a <a href = "http://www.fedmarket.com/seminars/gsa-proposal-elab.shtml?cid=1213304518-83151"><b>GSA Schedule</b></a> contract today.<p> <b>Why?</b> Most federal buyers like working with GSA Schedule contracts. Federal buyers prefer to use GSA Schedule contracts because the buyers can purchase a product by consulting price lists on the GSA Advantage! online database or
purchase services by issuing an electronic Request for Quote to three GSA Schedule vendors, rather than going through a public bid process. Therefore holding a GSA Schedule contract is the closing mechanism of choice for small and medium-sized businesses.
<p><B>Buyers are passing over vendors who are not GSA Schedule holders; do yourself a favor and stop procrastinating. <br>Sign-up for the next <a href = "http://www.fedmarket.com/seminars/gsa-proposal-elab.shtml?cid=1213304518-83151">GSA eLab</a> and have your completed GSA proposal in hand by June 26, 2008. </B>

<p>GSA Schedules are multiple award contracts that provide the vendors with federally-approved price lists. Both vendors and federal buyers have made using Schedules contracts the preferred way to conduct government business. The Schedules program is open to all businesses, from small to large, and the program is fairly comprehensive. Furthermore a company's GSA Schedule proposal can be submitted to GSA at any time (unlike other multiple award schedules that can be submitted during a prescribed period of time).
<p><b>By obtaining a GSA Schedule you benefit by: </b>
<br><br><ol><li>Reducing the competition; within the rules
<br><li>You avoid a public bid and save vast sums of money that would otherwise have been spent writing a proposal
<br><li>You can close a deal within weeks instead of a countless number of months
<br><li>You allow for the closing of deals with any federal buyer who prefers to use a Schedule contract.</ol>
<p><b>The Logistics: </b>To become a GSA Schedule 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">GSA.gov</a> site and downloading the schedule that
fits your business.
