FAQ
What is GSA contract management and support?
These are services that a GSA vendor would sign up for, with a third-party GSA consultant, in order to keep their schedule compliant, profitable, and up to date.
What do GSA contract management services include?
Such services include various modifications to the contract, such as addition of new products and services, deletion of absolute ones, price changes, new category (SIN) additions, five-year option renewals, market intelligence, and keeping up with the various compliance regulations by the government.
How do I get advice on a GSA Schedule contract?
By contacting an experienced GSA schedule consultant, explaining your situation and what you’re trying to accomplish as in the government market.
How to get expert GSA contract management for maximum results?
By hiring a consultant that has gained a solid degree of understanding and experience while having successfully managed a substantial number of GSA contracts. Look for consultants with a team of people and a structured approach.
How do I perform marketing after receiving a GSA Schedule award?
A newly awarded vendor should attend the annual GSA trade show, as well as other industry events, where they can establish connections with government procurement officers. A vendor has to make sure the products and services they offer are priced reasonably and competitively, and are listed properly on the GSA Advantage. One should constantly be on the look out for the new bidding opportunities on eBuy – the GSA’s bidding portal.

Contract Modifications: Administrators assist with contract modifications when changes to the scope, terms, or pricing are necessary, ensuring that proper documentation is filed, leading to eventual approvals.

The B. David Company enlisted the services of Price Reporter, Inc. to setup our DOD EMALL account. We are a second generation family owned company and were uncertain what would be required to complete this task. I fully recommend Price Reporter, Inc. to any company that is looking for assistance with their Government business endeavors. They were and have continued to be extremely helpful. We will continue to rely on Price Reporter, Inc. for future projects.

Testimonials
Price Reporter recently helped us with our 3rd GSA contract, the 2nd they did with us. It was the fastest we’ve ever been through the process with GSA. Each step was easy because the ground work was done before we were asked to do anything. Our pricing verification phase went smooth and quickly and both our contracts were accepted without rejection, with minimal negotiations with contracting.
George McCullough, Director of Sales and Business Development, Darley
Testimonials
We first learned about the DOD EMALL a couple years ago from Price Reporter. We decided to move forward on it in 2016. I would recommend them based on the following items:
- They split the payment. Half upfront and the other half is only charged should DOD EMALL contract be awarded to you.
- Adding Price Reporter, specifically Andrey Karpov and Igor London, as agents on our GSA schedule streamlined the process. They were able to communicate with our GSA Contracting Officer to ensure that we received what we needed for DOD EMALL from GSA. This saved time on my end and sped up the process.
- They provide a list of everything you need. Andrey and the rest of his team are meticulous and understand the process on how to get a DOD EMALL contract and thus we benefited from their expertise.
These are a few of the reasons why I would recommend Price Reporter, Inc. Thank you!

Price Reporter are helping make my life much easier and helping me feel so much better about our GSA contract. Thanks!!!
Kristen Briggs, President, General Mailing & Shipping Systems, Inc.
Testimonials
For the past 10 years, Price Reporter has been providing us with exceptional service for the maintaining of our GSA office supplies contract. They have updated our files on a very timely basis. They have provided modifications when required. For a number of years, they had been giving us a price algorithm where each of our items were priced more than our cost and a penny below the next competitor. A very unique position that gave us thousands of government orders – that was prior to the GSA FSSI BPA.
And for all the service given, their cost was far less than any other consulting firm that we had contacted or worked with over the years.
I would highly recommend their service to any small business that is either interested in getting into the federal government arena or who wants to have their contract maintained at a most highly professional level.
Thank you for supporting a VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS.

Testimonials
We are extremely grateful for all your help in guiding us through the whole process, as this was all new to us. Without the help of you and the rest of the team at Price Reporter, it would have been impossible to achieve our approval – or at the very least – it would have taken a very long time. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Price Reporter, Inc. to anyone needing assistance in government contracts. Your knowledge and assistance was invaluable and very much appreciated, and we look forward to a continued excellent relationship.

Testimonials
Without Price Reporter contacting me at the right time, GSA would probably cancel my contract already. The CO said that she contacted us back in November of 2016, but got no response. Then Price Reporter called me and helped me with all the things needed and I followed his advise. That’s how we found out that our contract will be terminated soon, but had enough time to take the corrective action. The CO called us recently and it looks like they will extend our contract life. Thanks so much for your timely follow up – Price Reporter gave our Government sales a new hope!

WE WILL IDENTIFY YOUR GROWTH AND PROFIT POTENTIAL WITH GSA
Knowing what to sell, where to source and how to buy, is often the key to success. Most successful companies invest in marketing intelligence which drives their success. Hundreds of our clients currently use our marketing intelligence services and thrive as a result.
As your trusted GSA contracting consultant, we can offer full GSA contract management that includes maintenance of a number of terms, conditions, and compliances of the Solicitation document of your GSA Schedule.
Among things that require constant or periodical attention and hence must be managed are:
- Price lists. Make sure your most recent price lists are uploaded and are current, so that your proposals are referring to your most actual price list. Also make sure that your sales department knows about this.
- Price Reduction Clause. Price management goes way beyond a trivial “set the price and forget” when it comes to government contracting. Federal Acquisition Regulations require you to offer the best prices to the GSA, so your price list must be reviewed to reflect this clause. Whenever a price changes from the previously negotiated amount, you should take care to reflect this change to the GSA. Otherwise, you risk losing your contract.
- Sales reporting. You are required to report your federal sales quarterly. Note that you must do this individually for every SIN you are selling. Automating the process of tracking, recording and reporting sales is a reasonable way to go, especially if you sell a lot of items to the government.
- Updating your catalog. Your product catalog must be up to date, and the recent version should be uploaded to GSA Advantage within 6 months, as long as you have any products on your GSA contract. Made changes to your product line? Changed branding? Don’t forget to reflect the modifications in your GSA catalog. We knew a number of contractors who had to deal with problems for not doing that in time.
- Monitoring FAR clauses changes. The main document that regulates federal sales and GSA Schedule contracting is FAR – Federal Acquisition Regulations. Often, the GSA introduces important changes in some FAR clauses that can have drastic effects on your contract. Price Reporter helps you track such changes and promptly do what’s necessary to keep your GSA contract functioning smoothly.
- Trade Agreement Act Compliance. TAA compliance is absolutely vital. Ignore compliance issues, and you will quickly end up with your GSA contract canceled or put on hold. Managing TAA compliance can also be delegated to Price Reporter.
- Contractor Assistance Visit (CAV). Another matter to consider is CAV. The GSA periodically reviews your company by sending an inspector to your site every 5 years. The purpose of this visit is to make sure you remain compliant with GSA requirements after you’ve been awarded.
- Contractor Report Card. As part of Contractor Assistance Visit (CAV), the GSA auditor asks a number of questions and writes down the answers in the Contractor Report Card. Based on the results of this questionnaire, the IOA will assign the performance rating to your company (from Marginal to Exceptional).
- Minimum Sales Requirements. Every new GSA contractor is required to display a certain amount of sales, this is the Minimum Sales Requirement. Currently, the minimum amount is $25,000 within the first two years, and $25,000 in each consequent year thereafter. While the requirement may seem trivial, the fact is that over 80% of small business government contractors fail to deliver the required amount of sales.
- Ethics & Compliance Program. As a GSA Schedule contract holder, you should exercise due diligence to prevent unethical or criminal behavior within your organization. This includes establishing an ongoing business ethics awareness, a compliance program, and a control system. Price Reporter can assist in building such an Ethics and Compliance Program, and fulfilling the terms and requirements of the GSA, including reporting of unethical actions , as well as help manage cooperation with government agencies.
