Winning a GSA contract is a desirable goal for many businesses. However, there is a potentially misleading school of thought that holding a GSA Schedule contract is all roses. Many business owners think of a GSA Schedule as if it were just another sales channel; very profitable, yes, but still very much the same as other ways of doing business. The truth is: GSA contracting has its pitfalls and drawbacks too. And some of them can literally ruin your profits.

GSA Schedule contracts are one of the most popular contracting vehicles small and medium businesses can use to get access to clients in the federal market. With government spending growing each year, securing a GSA contract still looks to be a lucky ticket for almost any company, regardless of what products or services it sells.

Whenever you need to add a new product or service to your existing GSA Schedule, or even if you want to add a new SIN to your GSA contract, the GSA provides a way to do this – the eOffer/eMod system. Here is how you can use eMod to submit a modification to your Schedule.

TAA non-compliance is one of the most common reasons for GSA contract cancellation or at least putting it on hold. Every product you sell to the federal agencies must be manufactured or substantially transformed in either the U.S. or in one of the designated countries. Since the list of designated countries changes over time, it is vital to know what  TAA compliant countries are in 2022, in order to act accordingly and to remain compliant. 

GSA MAS Schedules are a $45 billion government contract issued to thousands of approved vendors that enables them to supply products and services to the U.S. Government. The GSA Professional Services Schedule (formerly GSA 00CORP) is one of the twelve Large Categories under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule Program, covering every kind of service the government could possibly need. In this article, we will explore what opportunities are available under the GSA PSS category, why you should consider getting a GSA PSS Contract, and how you can successfully apply for one.

Ok, getting on a GSA Schedule is a non-trivial business. Let’s face it: if you have little or no experience in cooperating with government agencies and working under terms of GSA contract compliance, you will have hard times getting on a GSA Schedule. There are available resources you can leverage to help yourself secure that lucrative GSA contract.
