Why GSA Schedule Contracts?
For companies seeking reliable federal revenue, a GSA Schedule can offer a straightforward path to over $70 billion in annual government purchases. It cuts through lengthy bidding processes (RFPs), providing direct access to platforms like GSA Advantage and eBuy for faster wins on substantial orders from key agencies. It enhances your credibility, fosters partnerships, and delivers consistent sales growth—all without adding internal hires. At Federal Contract Consultants, we handle the essentials: From tailored proposals to compliance support, so you can prioritize what you do best.
Is Our Company Ready for a GSA Schedule Contract?
Core Business and Operational Qualifications:
-
U.S. Based Operations: Your company must be incorporated in the U.S. or maintain a physical office and staff within U.S. territory. Foreign entities without a substantial U.S. presence are ineligible.

After our initial consultation and some preliminary research, we will send you a cost proposal based on how long and how complex we estimate the GSA FSS process will be.
Our post award services can be negotiated as part of the initial client services contract, or after award as a separate add-on.
We are happy to customize for any needs.
