What is the General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule?
The GSA Federal Supply Service provides federal agencies with a simplified process for obtaining information technology (IT) services. It's the fastest, most cost-efficient method available to Government ordering offices to procure supplies or services. Orders placed through the GSA Schedule are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition.
GSA has already determined the prices cited in the Schedule to be fair and reasonable. This means that ordering offices don't need to seek further competition, synopsize their requirement, or make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing. This makes the GSA Schedule a powerful new tool for Government Project Managers.
