GSA Schedule Contract Consulting
What is the GSA Schedule
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is a pre-vetted federal contract vehicle that allows U.S. government agencies to buy commercial goods and services directly from approved vendors. With billions in annual spending flowing through MAS contracts, it offers vendors a powerful way to streamline sales, reduce competition, and build recurring revenue across federal agencies.
The GSA Multiple Award Schedule is Also Called:

Why Hire a Consultant for a GSA Schedule?
Obtaining a GSA MAS contract can open doors to significant federal contracting opportunities. However, the process is complex and resource-intensive. Below are the primary reasons why many companies choose to hire a GSA consultant rather than pursue the schedule alone.
Complexity of Requirements
GSA submissions involve federal acquisition regulations, CSP disclosures, SIN selection, TAA compliance, and extensive documentation. Consultants are familiar with these requirements and help you avoid common mistakes.
Avoiding Rejections & Delays
Pricing errors, documentation mistakes or weak narratives often trigger rejections or cause long delays. Consultants increase the chances of acceptance on the first submission.
Faster Time to Market
Consultants can usually complete the process in 8–14 weeks. Without expertise, internal teams may take 6–12+ months to navigate the system.
Strategic Guidance
Consultants assist with SIN selection, pricing strategy, and long-term positioning so the contract works for your business goals, not just compliance.
Internal Resource Constraints
Most small to mid-size businesses don’t have the staff bandwidth or GSA expertise to complete the work efficiently in-house.
Post-Award Support
Consultants often offer ongoing services for GSA Advantage
uploads, SIP/FCP support, IFF reporting, and modifications.
