Just as many small business owners look to government contracting as a way to increase revenue, so too do many contractors seek a GSA Schedule contract to make more money for their company. While GSA Schedule registration can be a smart idea for many vendors, the registration procedure is not for everyone.
GSA Schedules are a quick and simple contracting vehicle used by federal government to purchase millions of commercial products and services at volume discount prices. The GSA Schedule program works much like a catalog, allowing purchasing officers to browse and order what they need directly from pre-approved registered vendors through the GSA Advantage website.
GSA Schedule purchases make up 10% of all federal contract awards, totaling over 19,000 purchases last year. GSA Schedules are not just for large businesses either - over 40% of all sales were to small businesses. Since purchases are made through the catalog-like website GSA Advantage and all pricing and quantities of products and services are arranged during the registration process, completing the purchase is very straight forward and simple!
While purchasing and fulfillment are made easier through GSA Schedules, the registration process to get on a GSA Schedule is lengthy and complicated. Registration to receive a GSA Schedule contract can take over a year to prepare and submit. Interested vendors must prepare and submit a business plan in addition to all their other required documentation. The registration process alone is incredibly daunting. In addition to this, not all vendors are in a position to successfully market and compete for business once they're awarded a contract. Simply being awarded the contract is not a guarantee that they'll receive any business. Businesses must commit to a significant investment of time and other resources if they hope to succeed in the GSA Schedule program.
