GSA is the centralized procurement for the federal government and offers businesses the opportunity to sell billions of dollars worth of products and services to federal agencies. GSA advocates for small, minority, veteran, HUBZone, and women business owners through its Office of Small Business Utilization.
GSA uses a variety of contracting vehicles to effectively manage procurement for both its own operations and its government customers: Schedules, IDIQ, BPA, GWACs. It can all start sounding like alphabet soup. Luckily, GSA has an online small business resource where users can get detailed information about how GSA purchases.
In addition, GSA provides an online contact listing of Small Business Specialists and Small Business Support personnel across the country.
