How we handle GSA Schedule, end-to-end.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is the federal government's largest contracting vehicle: more than 12,000 contractors holding schedules, $50B+ in annual spending.

Pricing strategy

GSA requires you to offer the federal government your 'best customer' pricing. We build the pricing strategy: starting commercial rates, identifying the best customer, calculating the GSA discount, and preparing the Commercial Sales Practices disclosure.

FAQ

About the GSA Schedule Preparation Service.

What is a GSA Schedule?
A GSA Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule) is a long-term government-wide contract that lets federal agencies buy your commercial products or services at pre-negotiated terms, making you easier to buy from across the government. It is a major channel for selling to federal buyers. We keep your entity organized to pursue it.
Who should get on a GSA Schedule?
Established businesses with commercial products or services and a track record who want streamlined access to federal buyers, since getting on a Schedule is an investment that pays off with government sales volume. We flag whether your business is ready and keep the entity structured for it.
What are the benefits of a GSA Schedule?
Federal agencies can buy from you under pre-negotiated terms without a full competition each time, which shortens sales cycles and makes you a preferred, easy-to-buy-from vendor across government. We keep your entity and compliance organized so you can pursue and hold a Schedule.
How do I get on a GSA Schedule?
You submit an offer to GSA demonstrating your commercial pricing, past performance, and financials, and negotiate terms, after registering in SAM.gov. It is a substantial application. We keep your entity and records organized and flag the prerequisites.
How long does it take to get a Schedule?
It can take several months given the documentation, pricing justification, and negotiation involved, so it is a planned effort rather than a quick registration. We keep your entity and records ready so the process is not slowed by missing documentation.
Do I need past performance to qualify?
Generally yes: GSA looks for a track record of delivering your products or services, so newer businesses may need to establish some commercial history first. We flag this so you pursue a Schedule when your business is positioned to qualify.
Is a GSA Schedule the same as a certification?
No: a Schedule is a contract vehicle for selling to the government, while diversity certifications like WOSB qualify you for set-asides; they can work together but are different tools. We flag which fit your federal-sales strategy.
What are the ongoing obligations?
Holding a Schedule involves ongoing reporting, compliance with the contract terms, and maintaining your registration, so it is a relationship to manage, not a one-time award. We keep your entity and compliance organized so the ongoing obligations are manageable.
Can File.Business help me pursue a GSA Schedule?
We form and organize the entity, keep records and compliance in order, and flag the SAM.gov and readiness prerequisites a GSA Schedule requires, so you approach the process positioned to qualify, coordinating with a federal-contracting specialist for the offer itself.
