The GSA Multiple Award Schedule opens a bidding channel outside SAM.gov, where some contracts draw as few as four bidders, and a vendor can register without a prior federal win.
Eric Coffie walks through why he moved to the GSA Schedule after three years of bidding on SAM.gov with no traction, how long approval actually takes, and how the Schedule builds a path toward a quarter to half a million in sales and larger vehicles like OASIS and 8(a) STARS.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why GSA Schedule contracts often draw fewer bidders than the same work posted on SAM.gov
The real GSA approval timeline right now, three months for one SIN and six to nine with the current backlog
Why submitting all your SIN codes at once beats filing a modification later
How getting vetted on the Schedule positions you for OASIS, Alliant 3, and 8(a) STARS
How to use FPDS to check how many vendors actually bid before you pursue an opportunity
