How to Handle GSA Schedule Deliveries

By: Elizabeth Mordica
June 13th, 2022

GSA Schedule deliveries are an essential part of maintaining not only a good relationship with buyers but also maintaining contract compliance. When creating an offer, you establish shipping/delivery terms and abiding by these terms is an essential part of compliance. In an effort to help buyers and sellers, GSA Advantage! has been sending out an order status for contract holders. This status takes shipping/delivery statuses and times and assigns a score (in percentage). GSA has recently cracked down on GSA Advantage! order status, and if this score gets below 50%, your business could be in jeopardy of being suspended by GSA Advantage!. This is just one of the many reasons it’s essential that you know your company’s delivery terms and best practices associated with them.

How to Partner with the Right GSA Reseller

By: Bradley Wyatt
June 10th, 2022

If you are interested in selling to the government, but don’t want to deal with the potential headache of managing your own General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award (MAS) Schedule, an authorized GSA reseller could be the right choice for your company. While having your own prime GSA Schedule has its own benefits, sometimes it’s not the right fit for an organization. Managing your own GSA Schedule requires the right internal resources, personnel, and funding, and often comes with many upfront challenges including the cost and time to obtain a prime GSA Schedule. Partnering with a reseller can reduce the overall compliance risks in selling to the government, while also increasing overall speed to market in the public sector marketplace.

How to Get Your GSA Schedule Contract Ready for Government Q4 Spending

By: John Abel
May 31st, 2022

The 4th quarter always seems to be the most important--whether it’s in a football game where a quarterback is running a 2-minute drill while down one score, a basketball team is rallying back from a deficit and banking on a buzzer beater to take home the win, or even discussing government spending toward the end of the fiscal year when government agencies are rushing to use up their annual budget. One statistic that stands out to rookies and seasoned contracting veterans alike is that nearly one-third (yes, 1/3!) of federal contract dollars are awarded during Q4 of the government’s fiscal year. With agencies spending the remainder of their annual budget, and a rising need to procure a larger volume of products and services, the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program becomes a key vehicle for both buyers and sellers.

By: Jacques Kouevi
May 25th, 2022

Since early 2020, every business has had to adjust its day-to-day operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations quickly adapted to the changes in infectious disease control protocols, supply chain, and resources availability. Similarly, many government agencies have mobilized new policies and procedures to help stay ahead of the pandemic's regulatory curve. In this growing climate of risk to public health, organizations search for ways to measure and validate their businesses. You may find it surprising that in the current digital age, many organizations still use paper to measure operational compliance. Paper workflows are prominent in the Support Service & Environmental Management Service (EMS) sectors.
