General Services Administration (GSA)

General Services Administration (GSA) Registration

As the acquisition arm of the federal government, GSA plays a vital role in connecting the private sector with federal agencies fulfilling their business needs.

GSA offers professional services, equipment, supplies, telecommunications, and information technology from commercial businesses to government organizations and the military through acquisition solutions from its Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).

Understanding the Basics

“Schedules” is shorthand for the Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) and Multiple Award Schedules (MAS). These are large, long-term, government-wide contracts. Schedules connect government buyers with businesses to source compliant products and services at fair and reasonable prices. The large contract vehicles allow streamlined, technology-based orders that reduce administrative time for both buyers and sellers.

GovPath Advisors' GSA Program

We’ve worked with hundreds of businesses to get them properly registered in the federal marketplace. As a business owner, your time, attention, and resources are limited. Mistakes in federal registrations can cause delays and may result in fines. GovPath Advisors saves you time, money, and eliminates non-compliance risk.

It can take several months and significant time and resources to apply to get on the GSA Schedule. There is no guarantee you will be approved. There are GSA service providers who will attempt to get your product or service on the GSA for an upfront fee, which can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. Again, there is still no guarantee you’ll be accepted.

Get Registered with GovPath Advisors

GovPath Advisors has a different, risk-free approach to getting on the GSA Schedule. Our GSA Program allows you to pay monthly installments until your product or service is either on the GSA or is denied. If you are denied, the installments stop. If you are accepted, the total amount you pay is still substantially lower than most other service providers.

Certification Benefits

A GSA schedule makes it easier for the government to buy from your business. When one is set up, the government can simply go online and purchase your product with one click. It’s like ecommerce for the U.S. government.

All successful federal vendors will, at some point, get on a GSA Schedule. So the real question is not “if” you should get on the schedule, but “when” you should.

This all depends on the schedule. In many cases, a vendor will hit the maximum available quantities listed on the schedule. You should always make sure you are ready to fulfill the orders that come from a GSA schedule. Some vendors might have their entire warehouse stock bought out by the government before the end of the fiscal year.

Benefits of the GSA schedule include:
