GSA Schedules are quickly becoming the preferred vehicle of purchase for federal buyers. Vendors who have sold to the government for years are being strongly encouraged to obtain a schedule to ensure continued service to the Feds. Aggressive vendors new to the federal marketplace will benefit by entering with a schedule in hand. With billions purchased through GSA in each year, why wouldn't a vendor want a piece of the pie?

Simply put they don't know where to start.

Procedures for obtaining a schedule are confusing and time consuming.

Hiring a company to do the work for you will cost thousands and may not be within your company's budget.

Is there an alternative? Yes! The GSA eLAB; prepare you GSA Schedule Proposal in 3 quick days.

Past Attendee of our eLAB have said:

We submitted our IT-70 solicitation the day after I left your seminar in late March and our contract was awarded two days ago (less than three months after submission). Our Contracting Officer even complimented us on a well-prepared package! Our thanks to you and your staff (Laura Kiff, Eileen Kent and Beth White) for the intense and extremely valuable three days spent in Bethesda. Best regards,

Charlie Latham
Chief Operating Officer

As of June 1st 2005 our company will have it's GSA Schedule Contract Number. It was a bit of a task dealing with the actual submission of our proposal but it would not have been at all possible without your help, advice and direction. Thank you for all your support. It was a pleasure meeting you and knowing that your GSA eLab is a long needed necessity for companies like us. Thanks Again,

I tried on and off for a year to complete the GSA solicitation on my own. The experts at Fedmarket took the time to understand my business and walked through the process of completing the solicitation in under 3 days. There is absolutely no way I could have completed the process without the Fedmarket team.

I want to thank you for the support in preparing the GSA proposal. While I was still quite confused about the entire process yesterday, with your guidance everything seemed to come together today, and the proposal is finished. Had I not attended the eLab, there would have been no way this could have been completed in under 2 days. Thanks again for all of your help, advice, and wisdom. This was well worth the cost, even for a small 4 person business like mine. Thanks!

The GSA Proposal Preparation eLab ("GSA eLab") is a three-day event held at Fedmarket.com's Federal Sales Academy in Bethesda, MD. Fedmarket.com developed the GSA eLab for those individuals who have been given the daunting responsibility for preparing their company's General Services Administration (GSA) offer. Our instructors will walk attendees through the offer preparation process and, by the conclusion of the eLab event; a significant portion or all of your corporate offer will be completed.

The GSA eLab:

The GSA eLab is not a seminar, a course, or a workshop. Rather, our experienced GSA consultants will lead attendees through a hands-on working event.

* Upon arriving at the GSA eLab, each attendee will be directed to his or her own desktop computer. You will use the same computer for the duration of the three-day event. All of your corporate data may be stored on that computer and you alone will have access to that data. At the conclusion of the event, your work product will be made available to you for transport back to your office. All corporate data and your corporate offer will be thereafter be deleted.

* Attendees will be given detailed instructions on preparing a GSA offer. Among other learning tools, attendees will be given detailed templates, examples and case studies to assist in the offer's preparation.

* After the instructional presentations, our instructors will walk attendees through a work session during which you will actually prepare your corporate GSA offer on our computers. Computers will be available after business hours for those attendees wishing to continue working on their proposals.

* Telephones will be available for attendees to call their corporate offices for additional corporate experience and financial data, as needed.

* Our instructors will review and critique attendee's proposals during the afternoon of day three of the event.

* At the conclusion of the event, attendees will download their GSA proposal to a key drive for transport back to their offices.

The Results of the Event - A completed GSA schedule offer (in electronic form)

The degree of offer completion will depend on the corporate data attendees bring to the event (or obtain be telephone and email during the event), the Microsoft Word skills of the attendee, and the experience level of the attendee. We will advise you of the corporate data needed prior to the event.

Other Considerations:

Knowledge of the GSA Solicitation document and GSA pricing policies and evaluation procedures is not required because of the intuitive approach used to create and assemble a GSA proposal.
