GSA Schedules

For years the General Services Administration has been establishing contracting "schedules" for virtually any and all kinds of commodities and services. Schedules make it simple and efficient for Federal buyers to purchase commercial commodities and services from industry using pre-negotiated terms, conditions, and prices.

Here's what two Government executives have to say about the power and versatility of GSA Schedules in today's acquisition climate.

"The schedules program is building a bridge to commercial buying practices that offer flexibility, a direct line of supply, and the latest technology.  The old, conventional wisdom was that schedules were good for procuring small-dollar volume, common-use items.  The new wisdom is that use of BPAs (blanket purchase agreements) against the schedules is an innovative and efficient way of satisfying agencywide requirements for commercial products and services regardless of dollar value."

"I urge you to take full advantage of GSA Schedule Contracts if you need supplies or services that are covered under them.  Use of these contracts meets DOD goals to simplify the acquisition process while at the same time increasing the contracting officer's authority and ability to make sound business judgments."
