About GSA Schedules

A GSA Schedule is a governmentwide acquisition contract managed by the General Services Administration. The GSA Schedule System serves as the general store for the federal government where federal buyers can purchase millions of different goods and services. There are approximately nineteen thousand GSA Vendors and over fourteen thousand of these vendors are small businesses.

To obtain a position on a GSA Schedule, known as a GSA Schedule Contract, a firm must first apply to the General Services Administration. This application is designed to show that the firm has the capability to preform on a federal contract, also that the firm provides a quality product or service and that the firm is giving the federal government most favored pricing. Most favored pricing means that for any quantity of good the federal government gets your firm’s best price.

There are many industries represented on the GSA Schedule System. The major exclusions from the GSA Schedule system are architecture firms and Construction General Contractors. The small businesses in industries on the GSA Schedule tend to do well. The average small business with a GSA Schedule Contract has approximately one million dollars per year in federal sales directly from the GSA Contract.
