Your Gateway to Government Contracting

About the GSA Schedule Program

GSA Schedules—also referred to as GSA Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS)—allow the General Services Administration to establish long-term government-wide contracts with commercial firms to provide access to over 11 million commercial supplies/products and services that can be ordered directly from GSA Schedule contractors or through the GSA Advantage!® online shopping and ordering system.

GSA Schedules offer customers direct delivery of millions of state-of-the-art, high-quality commercial supplies and services at volume discount pricing. All customers, even those in remote locations, can order the latest technology and quality supplies and services, conveniently, and at most favored customer prices. GSA Schedules also offer the potential benefits of shorter lead-times, lower administrative costs, and reduced inventories. When using GSA Schedules, ordering activities have the opportunity to meet small business goals, while promoting compliance with various environmental and socioeconomic laws and regulations.

Getting on the GSA Schedule

Vendors who would like to get a GSA Schedule contract need to submit a GSA Schedule proposal (or “GSA Schedule application”), which must be evaluated and approved by the GSA before the vendor can become a GSA Schedule contractor. DeSutter, Kerr & Associates has provided GSA Schedule Assistance to hundreds of government contractors, and not only lets you know how get on the GSA Schedule, but actually develops complete GSA Schedule proposals on behalf of its clients.

For some contractors, the best method for getting on the GSA Schedule is the Multiple Award Schedule Express Program (MAS Express). The goal of the MAS Express Program is to simplify, streamline, and ultimately accelerate the process for vendors to obtain Schedule contracts. In order to participate in the MAS Express Program, vendors must meet specific criteria for certain products/services and must successfully complete Pathway to Success, an education seminar designed to assist prospective Schedule contractors in making an informed business decision as to whether obtaining a GSA Schedule contract is in their best interests. DKA’s GSA Schedule experts can assist with the MAS Express Program as well.
