Becoming a subcontractor can not only be rewarding but less complicated than competing for a government prime contract. Many prime contractors continuously seek good small business suppliers to meet their needs and satisfy the requirements of their government subcontracting plans.

For vendors, a GSA Schedule contract is an excellent marketing tool. This presentation will address many of the challenges businesses face when deciding whether they should seek a GSA Schedule contract. Topics will include: a brief overview of the GSA mission, getting a "GSA Number," why federal agenices use (and don't use) GSA Schedules, the pros and cons of the GSA Schedule contracts and much more. The presenter will discuss issues businesses should consider before taking the "schedules plunge." Although GSA Schedules cover a number of commodities and services, they do not cover everything the government purchases.
