Product Description
Become a Preferred Vendor
The FedBiz Access GSA Schedule is a tool that allows your company to reduce competition, increase revenue, and accelerate your organization’s timeline to government contracting success.
The General Services Administration (GSA) is the bulk purchasing division of the federal government. What does this mean? It means that anyone in any location within the federal government can buy any “Commercial Off-the-Shelf” (COTS) product or service from your company by simply going online and ordering through a shopping cart.
Think "Amazon" for government buyers - any quantity that you allow, at pricing you set, without having to go through the normal contracting processes.
