Everything You Wanted to Know About GSA Schedules

In government FY18, GSA Schedule sales totaled over $31 billion. As the world’s largest buyer and marketplace, government contracts can present your business with tremendous opportunities for growth. GSA Schedules continue to be the go-to source for federal buyers of commercial goods and services and are a common point of entry for companies new to federal contracting. The process isn’t easy, though. The Federal Government has painstakingly designed a maze of rules, regulations, and requirements. These rules make the Federal procurement process fair and transparent, leveling the playing field and promoting healthy competition. They also make it slow and difficult to navigate, as the number, type, and interpretation of requirements are continually changing. Pursuing any government contract is an investment of assets, so make sure you are armed with the knowledge you need to be successful. In this webinar, we answer your top questions on GSA Schedules, helping you navigate whether your business should go down the path of acquiring your first GSA Schedule.
