<br><hr width = 500>
<P><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">To become a GSA Schedule
contractor, a vendor must first submit an offer in response to the applicable
GSA Schedule solicitation. </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The GSA proposal document
you must submit for approval is a lengthy and complicated document; you can
see for yourself by visiting the GSA.gov site and downloading the schedule that
fits your business. </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">GSA proposal preparation
is fraught with issues and questions. 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. </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Many of our past eLab attendees
have stated that they had been working on their GSA schedule proposal for over
a year. </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><a href = "http://www.fedmarket.com">Fedmarket.com</a> offers a solution

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The GSA Proposal Preparation
eLab ("GSA eLab") is a three-day event. Fedmarket.com developed the GSA eLab
for those individuals who have been given the daunting responsibility of preparing
their company's General Services Administration (GSA) offer. Our instructors
will walk attendees through the offer preparation process and, by the conclusion
of the eLab event, a significant portion or all of your corporate offer will
be completed. </font>

company will have its GSA Schedule Contract Number. It was a bit of a task
dealing with the actual submission of our proposal but it would not have been
at all possible without your help, advice and direction. Thank you for all
your support. It was a pleasure meeting you and knowing that your GSA eLab
is a long needed necessity for companies like us.</font></P>

<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I just wanted to say thank
you to you and your team for a successful trip to Bethesda, MD! I left the GSA
eLab with a completed proposal in just two days! The first day was really intense
and a bit overwhelming, but the next day I flowed through the solicitation with
ease.....thanks to one-on-one help of you your team. Eileen was just a kick!
She helped turn the eLab into a fun and educational environment. </font><FONT size=2>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I had been working on my solicitation
for 6 months and reached a point where I had to get help. I am so glad I did!
My boss was thrilled as well. We weren't sure if I should go because of the
expense, but we realized how important it was. Besides, we will get that money
back in future sales to the Government. Right? </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was able to spend my third day
sight-seeing in downtown Washington, DC. What a powerful place to visit! I
tried to have lunch with President Bush, but he was all booked up. ;) </font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I can't thank you enough for all
your help. </font></P>
