Complete Your GSA Schedule Submission in 3 Days at the Fedmarket.com GSA eLAB!
More and more companies are feeling the pressure to get on a GSA Schedule. New and older businesses alike are being told by federal buyers to get on a schedule or risk losing federal business. For those government contractors that want to continue doing business with the federal government, the choice is seemingly easy -- get on the GSA Schedule. Those businesses new to the federal market are often unfamiliar with the GSA approval process and have questions about the investment, in terms of time and money, getting on the Schedule entails.
As many have learned, the offer a company must submit to GSA for approval is a lengthy and complicated document. Companies may familiarize themselves with the application process by going to www.gsa.gov and downloading the Schedule proposal that fits your business. After doing so, you may conclude that your company is going to need assistance in order to successfully get a GSA Schedule contract.
Fedmarket.com offers full-service GSA Schedule consulting assistance. We do the work for you - - from the offer's preparation through submission and continuing on through the contract award - - for an average price $15,000. If you don't have the time to devote to the matter and the price is right, then this is the route I would suggest. Get it done by a professional and leave no room for error. We finish the offer in a timely manner and the pain is minimal.
If the $15,000 price causes you to keel over, you do have other options. Download the document, set aside a small chunk of your life and tackle the task. You may be the exception to the rule and get through the process on your own. If you can do so, more power to you. Unfortunately, most don't have the time to dedicate or the full understanding of the document to succeed or survive the process.
Fedmarket.com is offering a new, unique solution to the GSA Schedule dilemma, our GSA Proposal Preparation eLab ("GSA eLab"). The eLab is a three-day event developed by Fedmarket.com. The GSA eLab is for those individuals who have been given the daunting responsibility for preparing their company's GSA offer. Our seminar instructors will walk attendees through the offer preparation process and, by the conclusion of the eLab event, you should have completed your GSA schedule offer (in electronic form).
The GSA eLab is not a seminar, a course, or a workshop. Rather, our experienced GSA consultants will lead attendees through a hands-on working event, the result of which will be that a significant portion, if not all, of your company's GSA offer, will be completed by the conclusion of the event.
Additional Information About the eLab:
* Upon arriving at the GSA eLab, each attendee will be directed to his or her own desktop computer. You will use the same computer for the duration of the three-day event. All of your corporate data may be stored on that computer and you alone will have access to that data. At the conclusion of the event, your work product will be made available to you for transport back to your office. All corporate data and your corporate offer will be thereafter be deleted.
* Attendees will be given detailed instructions on preparing a GSA offer. Among other learning tools, attendees will be given detailed templates, examples and case studies to assist in the offer's preparation.
* After the instructional presentations, our instructors will walk attendees through a work session during which you will actually prepare your corporate GSA offer on our computers. Computers will be available after business hours for those attendees wishing to continue working on their proposals.
* Telephones will be available for attendees to call their corporate offices for additional corporate experience and financial data, as needed.
* Our instructors will review and critique attendee's proposals during the afternoon of day three of the event.
* At the conclusion of the event, attendees will download their GSA proposal to a key drive for transport back to their offices.
The degree of offer completion will depend on the quality of the corporate data attendees bring to the event (or obtain by telephone and email during the event), the Microsoft Word skills of the attendee, and the experience level of the attendee. We will advise you of the corporate data needed prior to the event.
