The Contractor's Guide to GSA Schedules

A GSA Schedule is a long-term, government-wide contract that lets a business sell approved products and services to federal, state, and local agencies at pre-negotiated prices. Holding one puts your company in the GSA Advantage marketplace and makes you eligible for task orders that non-Schedule holders can't compete for.

If you last looked at this program a few years ago, the ground has shifted. There is no longer a list of separate schedules to choose from, the minimum sales requirement is four times what it used to be, and GSA has spent the past two years actively removing contracts that don't produce. This guide covers how the program works today, what it takes to get in, and what happens after award.
