<p><b>A GSA Schedule is an IDIQ that is ALWAYS open for bid.
</b></p><p>GSA schedules are the grandfather of all IDIQs. All schedule contracts share the following four characteristics:
</p><ol><li>They are open to small businesses.
</li><li> A services company can be virtually assured of obtaining a GSA contract if it can demonstrate its capabilities, has solid financial statements, and is willing to negotiate prices.
</li><li> GSA schedules are usually twenty-year contracts—an initial five-year contract followed by three five-year options.
</li><li> Federal buyers like to purchase from GSA schedule holders because buys can be made quickly with a minimum of paperwork.</li></ol>
<p>GSA schedule task order buys do not require a public bid because full and open competition is deemed to have taken place at the time your GSA prices were negotiated. Schedule contracts are a salesperson’s dream—they are a way to close a deal with your targeted buyer quickly, with very limited competition from competitors (as is the case with all IDIQs). <br></p><p><b>Are you on Schedule? </b>Can you afford not to be? </p>
<p><b>Fedmarket can help you complete your GSA proposal quickly and professionally.
