About GSA Schedules
The General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule is a governmentwide acquisition contract that serves as the federal government's general store, offering millions of goods and services to federal buyers. With approximately 19,000 vendors, over 14,000 of which are small businesses, the GSA Schedule System is a significant platform for small businesses to sell to the government.
To become a GSA Schedule vendor, a firm must apply to the General Services Administration and demonstrate its capability to perform on a federal contract, provide high-quality products or services, and offer the federal government its best price. This "most favored pricing" ensures that the government receives the best deal for any quantity of goods.
The GSA Schedule System encompasses various industries, except for architecture firms and construction general contractors. Small businesses in these industries tend to thrive. On average, a small business with a GSA Schedule Contract generates around $1 million in federal sales per year directly from the contract.
