    WHAT IS GSA SCHEDULE 03FAC?

    In 2020, the GSA consolidated Multiple Award Schedules, to make them more straightforward and vendor-friendly as well as to facilitate faster and more convenient procurement. All legacy schedules were rearranged to 12 large categories with a number of subcategories in each one. The GSA Facilities category is one of them.

    The GSA Facilities category involves various products, services and supplies, that many federal agencies need to maintain facilities – buildings, interiors, equipment etc, and to have easier access to various goods, starting from food to toilet accessories.

    The category is also one of the most profitable ones. Specifically, the overall amount of sales via the three legacy Schedules – GSA Schedule 03FAC, Schedule 56, and Schedule 73 – exceeded $930 million in 2019. The estimated number of GSA contractors offering their services under this category is about 1200, which means every contractor on average does about $700,000 in sales. That is why getting a GSA Facilities Services contract is potentially a profitable affair you should really consider.

    GSA Facilities Services – MAS Contract

    The GSA Facilities Maintenance products and services are also highly demanded among almost all federal agencies, so as soon as you secure a GSA Facilities contract you will have all the chances to make serious sales too.

    HOW TO GET A GSA FACITLITIES SCHEDULE (56)?

    Ok, now you know what a GSA Facilities Services contract is. The question is: how can you win such a contract? Price Reporter has got a number of articles and step-by-step guides in our blog, that can help you grasp the basics of the process. Also, we encourage you to contact us directly if you have any questions about getting the Facilities contract, or if you struggle with any part of managing the existing contract in this MAS category.

    The general “must do” steps to obtain a GSA contract are as follows:

    • Preparation step. Start with the obligatory training courses the GSA provides. The Pathway to Success is required for every new vendor to register at the GSA. After you are in, you can compete for contracts in a given category, depending on your niche and NAICS codes. The very first thing to do is to prepare the documents the solicitation requires. You will need to download the solicitation to see what documents you need to prepare. The documents include financial statements, specifications, pricelists, compliance documents, past performance reports, labour categories as well as multiple various standard forms you need to complete.
    • Submit documents. Preparing all necessary documents can take several months. Once you are ready, you should submit your document package to the GSA for approval. The GSA specialists will review the package and possibly reach out, to either clarify the issues they had found, or to request missing documents or forms. This process is quite tricky, so you may want to hire a consultant to guide you through.
    • Negotiation. Even after your submission is reviewed and approved, the work is not yet over. Now comes the most crucial part – negotiation. The GSA contracting officer will reach out to negotiate the terms, conditions, and prices of your contract. The government always wants the best and for the lowest prices, and so providing a discount to the government is almost obligatory. However, if you are prepared for this phase, you can negotiate better prices than you would otherwise. There are multiple nuances here, starting from the value of your initial offer, to the exact phrases you communicate to the GSA officer. After the negotiation step is finished, you are awarded with a GSA Facilities contract.
    • Post-award. You now have your contract, but it is just the beginning. You also need to develop a marketing plan, adjust your efforts in promoting your GSA contract, make sure your personnel understand how to do business with the government, and much more. With diligent efforts, however, you can really succeed with your new GSA Facilities Maintenance contract.

      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!

      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.

      We looked around for a reputable company to help us acquire a GSA contract for Muzeek World Intl., Inc. After looking around we were unsuccessful in finding a good company.

I highly recommend Price Reporter to anyone looking for help in acquiring a GSA contract or any Government business dealings. They have the expertise and the know-how to get the work completed.

      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!
