Untapped Market – The Federal Government is Waiting For Businesses To Jump In

Nov. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- Washington, DC, Fedmarket –  Every April, we file tax returns.  A few of us are patient enough to complete the tedious and complex paper process, but most of us realize that choosing the right help reduces stress and time, so we turn to a “box,” some form of computer software for tax forms.  The Fedmarket GSA eLab™ has been developed as a “box” for increasing a company’s speed to market when dealing with the federal government.  

The country’s spending is escalating more than at any time in the past fifty years.  The total size of these markets is difficult to pin down, but economists and the Washington-based press estimate annual federal contract spending to be about $500 billion or more.  The federal government is, in fact, the world’s biggest customer.  

Many businesses are trying to reach that lucrative fruit hanging from the government tree.  Though the business looks obtainable to the uninitiated, the process for jumping into great contracts can be long and arduous.  And, the fruit may be higher on the tree than it first appears.  

To win prime government contracts, a business owner has to have a GSA advantage that of being a GSA (General Services Administration) schedule holder.  It’s the application process for that designation, according to Richard White of Fedmarket, that causes small- and medium-sized businesses to lose months of time and suffer so many delays that they often decide to search for other orchards.  

Fedmarket’s software automates the application process.  In addition, Fedmarket provides a 3-day GSA eLab™. The outcome of the GSA eLab™ is a completed application that has achieved rave reviews by attendees and by GSA personnel.  

Eric Dodson, President of onShore Development, knows the value the GSA eLab™ provided to his company when he states “I tried on and off for a year to complete the GSA solicitation on my own. The experts at Fedmarket took the time to understand my business and walked me through the process of completing the solicitation in less than three days.  There is absolutely no way I could have completed the process without the Fedmarket team.”  

Richard White, President and author of GSA Schedules: The Shortest Path to Federal Contract Dollars, is achieving his goal of creating a “box” to cut through the red tape for small- and medium-sized business so they can enter the large federal market orchard and start picking the fruit.  The next GSA eLab™ is held monthly in Bethesda, Maryland and in west coast locations quarterly.
