Client satisfaction

A GSA Schedule — formally the Multiple Award Schedule, or MAS — is a long-term government contract that lets federal, state, and local agencies buy directly from you, often without competing the work each time. It's one of the most valuable doors into the federal market, and one of the most paperwork-heavy to get through. We handle that paperwork from eligibility to award, so you can keep running your business while the offer gets built right the first time.

What's included

Everything from eligibility to award, handled.

01

Eligibility & SIN mapping

We confirm you meet GSA's requirements and map your products and services to the right Special Item Numbers, so you're in the categories buyers actually search.

02

Pricing & narratives

We build a competitive, defensible pricing proposal and write the corporate and technical narratives GSA expects.

03

Offer assembly & submission

We prepare your complete eOffer package — financials, past performance, labor categories, terms — and submit it to GSA on your behalf.

04

Negotiations to award

We manage the contracting officer's questions and guide you through negotiations,  onto your final award, then orient you on staying compliant.

Before you start

A GSA Schedule pays off when the fit is right.

It tends to make sense if you:

  • Have been in business about two years or more (newer IT firms may qualify through the Springboard pathway — ask us).

  • Can show past performance — commercial or government projects with references.

  • Sell products or services agencies buy (IT, professional services, supplies, and more).

  • Want a repeatable way to win government work, not a one-off bid.

Not sure? The free eligibility assessment below gives you a quick read before you commit to anything.

The process

A clear path, start to finish.

1 - Free eligibility assessment

A 10-question check to confirm you're a fit and surface anything to fix first. Then we schedule a call for a more in-depth evaluation of your company & goals.

2 - Kick-off & documents

We gather your financials, past performance, and pricing in one organized pass.

3 - We build the offer

Narratives, pricing, technical proposal, and the full eOffer package — drafted and assembled by us.

4 - Submit & manage clarifications

We submit to GSA and handle every contracting-officer question.

5 - Award & next steps

You receive your contract award, and we guide you through compliance and managing your GSA Schedule.

Frequently asked

Questions

How long does it take to get a GSA Schedule?

For a well-prepared offer, often four to seven months from kickoff to award, depending on how quickly documents come together and how busy GSA's reviewers are.

How much does a GSA Schedule cost?

There's no fee to submit an offer to GSA. Your costs are the consulting work to prepare it and the time to gather documents. We scope a flat price up front so there are no surprises.

Do I really need a consultant?

You can self-prepare, but the offer is detailed and small mistakes cause months of delay. Most small businesses find it faster and less stressful to have it done right the first time.

What's a SIN?

A Special Item Number is GSA's category code for what you sell. Mapping to the right SIN is what makes your Schedule findable by the agencies buying it.
