What Does the FAR Overhaul Moving to Formal Rulemaking Mean for Small Business Contractors?
For most of 2026 the FAR Overhaul has lived in a strange place: real enough to follow, but technically temporary. In June 2026 that changed. The FAR Council began converting the overhaul into permanent rules, and for small business contractors the part that matters most, Part 19, is still under review. The Revolutionary FAR Overhaul […]
Where Do GSA Contractors File Subcontracting Reports Now That eSRS Is Gone?
A contracts manager logged in to file a routine Individual Subcontract Report in spring 2026 and found eSRS.gov no longer existed. No grace, no redirect they recognized, just a system that was there last cycle and gone this one. If your company files ISRs or SSRs, this is the change you cannot afford to learn about at […]
Does GSA OneGov Kill the Reseller Model, or Just Change Where You Add Value?
In April 2026, GSA announced OneGov had saved taxpayers $1.1 billion in its first year. For agencies, that is a headline. For a GSA Schedule holder who makes a living reselling software, it landed differently: if agencies buy straight from Microsoft and Adobe, what happens to me? OneGov is GSA’s strategy of negotiating directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for governmentwide […]
Is TDR Now Mandatory for Every GSA Schedule Holder Under Refresh 31?
GSA released Solicitation Refresh 31 on April 2, 2026, and buried inside it is the biggest reporting change MAS contractors have faced in a decade. A contractor who clicks “accept” on the coming mass modification without reading it will switch their entire pricing-compliance model, and most will not notice until the first report is due. Transactional Data […]
MAS vs OASIS+ vs Alliant 3: Which Federal Contract Vehicles Should You Invest In for 2026 to 2031?
A VP of business development asked us a sharp question last quarter: “We can realistically pursue one new vehicle this year. Which one moves the needle?” That is the right question, and it is not the one most comparison articles answer. They tell you what each vehicle is. They do not tell you which to […]
Is a GSA Schedule Worth It in 2026?
A founder told us last year that her GSA Schedule was “the best nine months and worst nine months” of her company’s history. The award opened a $6B agency she had never sold to. Getting there cost her a director’s time for the better part of a year. Both things were true at once. A […]
Does Having an SBA Certification Make My GSA Schedule More Valuable, or Are They Two Separate Things?
You are 8(a) certified, or SDVOSB, or WOSB. You also just landed your GSA Schedule. Somewhere in the back of your head is a quiet question nobody answered cleanly during either process: do these two things actually work together, or did you just spend a year stacking up paperwork that lives in separate drawers? Here […]
How Do I Actually Win Work on My GSA Schedule?
You spent nine months and real money getting the Schedule. The award letter came. Then nothing. No calls, no orders, no agency knocking. Six months later your contract has done zero dollars and you are starting to wonder if the whole thing was a scam. It was not a scam. You just bought the wrong […]
Is DOGE Killing GSA Contracts, or Creating Opportunity for the Right Contractors?
In 2025, one government tracker took public credit for cancelling tens of billions of dollars in federal contracts, and nearly every contractor with a GSA Schedule started asking the same quiet question: am I next? Here is the short version on DOGE and GSA contracts in 2026. DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, drove the […]
Can Service Contractors In Facilities, Maintenance, Or Field Work Really Succeed On GSA?
A GSA Schedule can work for service contractors in facilities, maintenance, repair, field operations, and related work, but only when the company has the right category fit, relevant experience, pricing discipline, and federal sales plan. MAS is not only for IT or product-heavy vendors. The challenge is that operational service companies usually need a more […]
