Fedmarket Assists Companies in Winning GSA Contracts

Dec. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- GSA is the catalyst for nearly $66 billion in annual federal spending--more than a quarter of the government’s total procurement dollars. The agency also influences the management of federal assets that amount to $500 billion. The agency’s primary contracting vehicle, called a “Schedule”, is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract.

“Companies with Schedules can post their products and services on GSA Advantage!,” said Diego Arioti, CEO of Fedmarket. “It’s essentially a giant e-commerce site for government buyers that offers more than 12 million products and services; without a Schedule, businesses are shut out from participating in the biggest commercial enterprise in the world.”

The problem for many companies is that writing the proposal for the contract can be very tricky, infested as they are with complex legal requirements, confusing government speak, and mountains of red tape. GSA rejects more than half of the proposals it receives due to mistakes.

That’s where Fedmarket, with its excellent track record, comes in. The company offers clients six different options for completing their GSA Schedule proposal.

“To say ‘we guarantee success’ might be tempting fate,” said Arioti, “because there are a lot of intangibles that go into each company’s offer to the GSA. But we have been remarkably successful in helping companies figure out how to position themselves to reach a successful conclusion to negotiations with GSA.”
