Having a GSA Schedule Contract

In the eyes of a government purchaser, being GSA Certified (or having a GSA Schedule contract) legitimizes a business as a trusted source. Every GSA Contract holder can utilize online GSA systems, such as GSA Advantage! GSA E-Buy, GSA Reverse Auctions, and can be found by buyers searching out a particular product or service. So, having your products and services available on these systems is a very large advantage.

Some of the competitive advantages to be gained by having a GSA Schedule Contract are:

  • As a GSA Certified Contractor, buyers know your company has been researched and approved as an approved government provider.
  • There is less work and risk to purchase your services and products as they have been pre-certified during the GSA contract award process.
  • Pricing is pre-negotiated so buyers do not have to justify the pricing of a solution when placing an order ~ the government has already determined pricing to be fair and reasonable.
  • Your products and services are listed in GSA Advantage, GSA E-Buy and E-Library, where many buyers go to research and locate contractors.

In summary there are many benefits for participating in the GSA Schedules Program:

  • GSA contracts lead to increased visibility and credibility for your products and services.
  • GSA contracts make it easier for agencies to purchase products and services thus reducing the time needed to issue contracts.
  • Expediting the purchasing process saves time and money and also increases flexibility and choice for obtaining an optimal solution.
