General GSA Information

The General Services Administration (GSA) is considered the chief buying agent for the federal government. GSA has set up a system whereby contractors and vendors can submit product and services information and pricing for approval. Once approved the GSA issues your organization a contracting vehicle that can be used throughout the Federal Government (and the individual states for IT services). Unless not utilized at all, these contracts have a term of 5 years, with several option periods.

Once you have been approved by the GSA, Government Purchasing Agents and Program Management Personnel can procure your services/products directly, saving you and your customers a great deal of time and money.

How does the GSA proposal process work?

The GSA has posted "Standing Solicitations" which provide information, directions, and procedures on how to get your company's products and services approved for inclusion on the GSA Schedule List. Once you have completed the requirements in the Solicitation, you present your Proposal to the GSA. Your Proposal will be assigned to a Contracting Specialist and/or a Contracting Officer. Additional information may be requested and your prices will be negotiated. After fulfilling all of the Government's requests and agreeing on the pricing of your products/services, the GSA will issue your organization an open-ended, government-wide contracting vehicle. FedPros provides support through all levels of this process until an award is made.

FedPros Fees

FedPros bills for services on an hourly basis. Call us today for an estimate specific to your project. Most "Turn Key Complete" proposals of moderate size take approximately 50-60 hours of FedPros time to complete. The amount of time needed to complete a proposal is directly related to the number and type of services/products your organization would like to offer the GSA. FedPros offers discounts on multiple proposal efforts.

VETS-100 Report

Any contractor who receives a contract from the Federal Government in the amount of $25,000 or more, or any subcontractor who receives a contract from such a covered con-tractor in the amount of $25,000 or more, must file a VETS-100 Report on an annual basis. The $25,000 can be aggregated for purchase orders or government Bills of Laden. If these requirements are met you are required to complete and submit the VETS-100 report. The VETS-100 Report is due to the Department of Labor by September 30 each year.
