Benefits of the GSA Schedules Program
The GSA Schedules program is the premier acquisition vehicle in government, with approximately $50 billion a year in spending or 10 percent (10%) of overall federal procurement spending.
GSA Schedules are fast, easy, and effective contracting vehicles for both customers and vendors. For GSA Schedule holders, GSA establishes long-term, government-wide contracts with commercial companies to provide access to millions of commercial products and services at volume discount pricing to a wide range of government agencies.
The benefits of participating in the GSA Schedules program include:
- Simplified Procurement Process
When a company becomes a GSA Contract holder, all pricing, terms and conditions are negotiated prior to award. Buyers using a company’s GSA schedule contract know that all services and products have been approved and certified. No additional justification is needed by the ordering agency when procuring products and services from a GSA Contract holder, thus streamlining the procurement process
- Differentiation from the Competition
Being a GSA Contract holder provides for opportunities not provided to non-contract holders. It also signifies to Federal agency buyers that the company has been vetted and approved to be a government provider, adding an additional level of certification and a leg up on the competition.
- Pricing Deemed Fair and Reasonable
During the evaluation process, the pricing for the potential GSA Contract holder’s products and services are negotiated. The evaluation performed and final pricing accepted by GSA indicates that GSA has determined that the GSA Contract holder’s pricing is fair and reasonable.
- GSA Marketing Exposure:
Being a GSA contract holder allows you access to exclusive marketing tools such as GSA Advantage!, GSA eLibrary, eBuy, as well as the ability to utilize blanket purchase agreements and take part in contractor team arrangements.
