K-Form, Inc. Awarded GSA Schedule Contract

April 29, 2011 - PRLog -- K-Form focuses on strengthening core competencies through innovation. Product and process innovation provide the ability to lead new market requirements. After almost a year of effort, the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded K-Form a five-year contract (contract #GS-35F-0342X) on Schedule 70 (IT) for RF Shielded Server Racks (product information: http://www.kform.com/wp/products/). This contract award adds to a list of recent accomplishments made to further nurture and fortify the business. The GSA schedule contract will streamline the procurement process for our public-sector customers.

Why GSA Contract for Shielded Racks
Obtaining a GSA Schedule contract for the RF shielded server racks is part of a proactive approach to market the K-Form (http://www.kform.com/) brand. The shielded enclosure business is extremely specialized in a market dominated by large corporate competitors. We are serious about the protection of critical systems from the effects of comprising signals. Marketing our message to the proper people requires skill and time. A GSA schedule contract introduces our product to the widest, qualified audience simultaneously simplifying the procurement process for federal sales. Our products get placement in the electronic catalog GSA Advantage. The award increases our market recognition and credibility while differentiating K-form from competitors.

How
After ISO 9001:2008 registration, K-Form took a collective, short breath and posed the question “What is our next logical step?” No single, specific tool, service, or product assures continuing success; however continual improvement promotes a higher probability of relevance and success. After research and input from our business partners (customers, vendors, and co-workers), obtaining a GSA schedule contract appeared a good fit and the next mission to accomplish.

The process can prove to be daunting. K-Form decided to employ the services of FedMarket to assist with writing the proposal documentation. FedMarket has a proven track record of assisting companies with the GSA process from proposal writing to strategic consulting. After we chose the Virtual eLab option for the application, FedMarket educated us about process, informed us of needed documentation, and assisted with completion of the solicitation requirements. Their experience was invaluable to K-Form.

Next Step
K-Form now faces a different and equally difficult task of marketing the contract. We are excited about the prospects the future holds and look forward to our adventure. K-form seeks to form relationships with new customers. Customer focus permits us to weather the recent business environment. We will continue on our goals:

   Form lasting business relationships
   Provide customers with an unparalleled service
   Translate knowledge, experience, and innovation into valued products
