A GSA Schedule (MAS) contract is a pre-negotiated, long-term government contract that lets federal agencies buy directly from you.
Think of it as:
“Pre-approved to sell to the government.”
Your pricing, terms, and compliance are already vetted, which means:
- shorter sales cycles
- fewer negotiations
- easier awards
- access to tools like GSA Advantage! and eBuy
Yes.
If you want to do any business with the federal government, you must be registered in SAM.gov.
SAM is free and required.
Not technically.
But practically? Often yes.
If your buyers purchase through GSA, not having a Schedule can mean you’re simply not considered.
It’s less about eligibility and more about access.
Most successful applicants meet these basics:
- At least 2 years in business
- Financial stability
- Relevant past performance
- Commercially available products or services
- Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance
If you check those boxes, you’re likely eligible.
If you’re unsure, this is exactly what we assess during a readiness review.
A Schedule removes friction from government sales.
Instead of starting from scratch every time, you get:
- One contract usable across all federal agencies
- Reduced competition pools
- Visibility on GSA Advantage!
- Access to RFQs through eBuy
- Faster awards
- Shorter sales cycles
- Alignment with Category Management and Best-in-Class goals
In short:
It makes you easier to buy from.
It depends on three things:
- Eligibility
- Market demand
- Internal readiness
A Schedule is powerful but only if you’re prepared.
Possibly.
GSA offers the Startup Springboard program for companies under two years old.
Two phases:
Preparation: 2–4 months (sometimes longer)
GSA review & negotiation: 3–9+ months depending on category
Overall, most companies should expect: 6–12 months total
The biggest delays usually come from incomplete documentation or pricing issues, not GSA itself.
