Why Does Your Business Need To Get On A GSA Schedule?

By Celeste Osborne


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.

Through the GSA Schedule program, contracting officers may purchase the products and services they need through GSA Advantage, a website catalog listing all pre-approved vendors. Unlike traditional bidding practices, purchases through GSA Schedules are quick, easy, and fairly straightforward.

Last year, over 19,000 purchases were made by the US Federal Government through GSA Schedules - 40% of these were even through small businesses! Such transactions total 10% of all federal contracting in the nation, which is a fairly significant amount of money. Since all products, services, and prices are arranged during registration, no negotiation is necessary to obtain the job. The agency makes a purchase online and the business fulfills the order.

Getting a GSA Schedule contract or attracting business once you have one is not a piece of cake. Registration can take over a year to prepare and file and even once you've been awarded a contract, there is no guarantee you will make money through a GSA Schedule. Vendors who do find success do so through a significant investment of both time and other resources, by marketing themselves to buyers and competing with other firms listed on their Schedule.

US Federal Contractor Registration helps businesses overcome these challenges through their GSA Schedule Registration program. Experienced and knowledgeable Case Managers will not only help you complete the registration - they can also help you evaluate whether you're ready to compete with other businesses on your GSA Schedule and offer support and guidance throughout the entire process.
