GSA Multiple Award Schedule

A GSA Schedule puts your business in front of every federal agency, already approved to buy.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule is a long-term contract that pre-approves your pricing. Once you have it, any federal agency can buy from you directly, no separate bidding required.

Used by federal, state, and local government agencies across the country

What a GSA Schedule is

A standing contract that agencies use to buy from you directly.

Most federal contracts require competitive bidding. The Schedule bypasses that. It is a pre-negotiated contract setting your pricing, terms, and scope, so agencies can order without a separate solicitation.

GSA Schedules are organized under NAICS codes and Special Item Numbers (SINs) that define what you are approved to sell. Once approved, the contract can run for up to 20 years and opens your business to the entire federal marketplace.

Who can buy from a GSA Schedule holder
All federal civilian agencies
Department of Defense agencies
State and local governments (Cooperative Purchasing)
Tribal governments and certain nonprofits

The process

From eligibility to approved, step by step

The application takes most businesses four to six months. Here is what that looks like with us managing it.

1Qualify

Eligibility check

We confirm you meet GSA's requirements: two years in business, strong past performance, clean financials. No surprises down the road.

2Prepare

Build the offer package

We write the technical proposal, price narrative, and past performance citations, plus every supporting document GSA requires.

3Submit

Submit and negotiate

We submit through eOffer and guide you through the contracting officer review and negotiation. This is where most applicants get stuck without support.

4Win

Award and activation

Once awarded, you are listed on GSA Advantage. We set up your profile so agencies can find you and start placing orders.

Why fed.net

We handle federal contracting end to end, not just the Schedule

The Schedule is one step in a broader federal contracting strategy. We have the context to make the most of it.

We already handle your SAM registration

A GSA Schedule requires an active SAM registration. If yours is missing or lapsed, we handle that first so your application is never held up on a technicality.

Contract search included with Govdar

Once your Schedule is active, Govdar finds the task orders where your SINs match. Being on the Schedule only pays off if you are actively pursuing work through it.

One firm for the whole picture

SAM, set-aside certifications, GSA Schedule, CMMC — we handle all of it. So you are not re-explaining your business to a new consultant every time.

What happens after you reach out

No black box, no commitment until you are ready

Exactly what happens from the moment you submit, so there are no surprises.

You submit the form

Takes about two minutes. Nothing is charged until you have reviewed what is involved and decided to move forward.

1
A GSA specialist reviews your eligibility

We confirm the core requirements: two or more years in business, documentable past performance, and active SAM. If there are gaps, we tell you up front, not mid-application.

Within one business day
2
We build your offer package

We prepare the technical proposal, price narrative, and past performance write-ups. This is where most DIY applicants get it wrong, because GSA's requirements and formatting are exacting.

After you decide to proceed
3
Submission and negotiation

We submit through eOffer and handle the contracting officer negotiation on your behalf. GSA usually comes back with pricing questions, and that back-and-forth is what stalls most applications.

Typically two to four months after submission
4
Award, activation, and ongoing compliance

Once awarded, you are listed on GSA Advantage. We set up your profile and manage the modifications, quarterly sales reporting, and IFF payments so your contract stays active.

Four to six months total from start to award

On cost: Pricing depends on the complexity of your offer, the number of SINs you are applying under, and how much of the documentation work already exists in your business. Your specialist will walk you through what is involved and what it costs after the initial eligibility review. There is no payment to get started.

Questions

GSA Schedule questions, answered

How long does it take to get a GSA Schedule?

Typically four to six months from application to award, longer if your offer is complex or GSA is slow to process. We prepare it correctly the first time to avoid the back-and-forth that drags out most applications.

What are the minimum requirements to apply?

GSA generally wants two or more years in business, documentable past performance, and financial stability, plus an active SAM registration. If you meet those basics, we evaluate the specifics in a free eligibility review.

Is the GSA Schedule worth it for a small business?

It depends on what you sell and who buys it. It works best when agencies buy what you offer repeatedly, your pricing is competitive, and you can fulfill orders. After the review we tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

What does ongoing compliance require?

After award you report sales quarterly, pay an Industrial Funding Fee of 0.75% of Schedule sales, submit modifications when pricing changes, and keep SAM active. We handle all of it so it never becomes a second job for your team.

Can we add more services to the Schedule after we are awarded?

Yes. You can add new SINs, adjust pricing, or add labor categories after award through a modification. It is a standard part of managing an active Schedule, and we handle the process when it makes sense.

Is this right for you

A GSA Schedule is a real investment. Here is who it works for.

The Schedule is not right for every business. Here is an honest read on who benefits most and who should wait.

This is a good fit if
Your business has been operating for at least two years with documented past performance
You want agencies to be able to buy from you directly without a full competitive process
You sell something agencies buy repeatedly, not a one-time specialized project
You are ready to actively pursue task orders and market your Schedule once it is awarded
It is probably not for you if
Your business is under two years old or has no documentable past performance yet
You are looking for a single large contract rather than an ongoing sales channel
You do not have the capacity to fulfill multiple orders at the same time
You need SAM registration first, which should be the starting point before any Schedule application
