WHAT IS GSA AND DO THEY DO?
The General Services Administration (GSA) is an independent agency of the United States government that facilitates and manages the Schedules program, the most widely used federal procurement program.
As the acquisition arm of the federal government, GSA plays a vital role in connecting the private sector with federal agencies in order to fulfill their business needs.
GSA offers professional services, equipment, supplies, telecommunications, and information technology from commercial businesses to different government organizations, including the military, through acquisition solutions from its Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).
In this section, the organization also listed the products and services that they buy.
WHAT IS A GSA SCHEDULE?
GSA Schedules (also referred as Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules) are long-term governmentwide contracts for commercial vendors to supply different products and services to different agencies in the government at a volume discount pricing.
According to their website, these Schedules help vendors to have a direct link to the government contracting community while also helping the buyer or, in this case, the agency to save time and money.
GSA also has other purchasing programs apart from GSA Schedules, just click this link to know more.
