What about a GSA Schedule Makes it Valuable to a WOSB?

A GSA Schedule is a GWAC or (Governmentwide Acquisition Contract) issued by the General Services Administration.

The following 4 reasons are why a GSA Schedule is so valuable to a Woman Owned Business

  • 1
    All federal buyers have access to the GSA Schedule System. Federal buyers must make “legal purchases” and to make a purchase legal is must comply with FAR (Federal Acquisitions Regulations). A GSA Schedule provides all federal buyers with a way to purchase from your firm.
  • 2
    The GSA confirms that Schedule Holders have the financial capacity, quality and fair pricing before the vendor is permitted on the GSA Schedule system.
  • 3
    Because of #1 & #2, the GSA is the place federal buyers go to do market research. Why look for a solution from vendors that you cannot make a purchase. The GSA has the following three websites that give buyers the information they need. GSA Advantage, GSA ebuy, and GSA elibrary.
  • 4
    Hence, federal buyers looking for a WOSB firm to meet a budgetary goal on a procurement go to one of the three GSA websites mentioned above to find buyers to request a quote for their given procurement.

These four factor are what triple a WOSB Certified firms' sales.
