Why GSA Schedule is worth it

With a schedule contract, agencies can buy from you directly without running a full competition. The GSA Advantage catalog is searched by thousands of federal buyers daily — listing is a standing invitation to sell.

How to get on schedule

You apply via GSA eOffer, responding to the solicitation for your category (IT, professional services, facilities, etc.). Processing takes roughly 3-6 months; many firms use a consultant, but the do-it-yourself path is viable for organized companies.

The radar advantage before and after

While your schedule application processes — and after you win it — open market opportunities under your NAICS still matter. A filtered opportunity radar catches the solicitations that fill the gap between schedule awards.
