Build your customer base and increase revenues by making your company more accessible to the federal marketplace.

How do you do that? By obtaining a GSA Schedule and becoming a GSA approved vendor. A GSA approved vendor can offer their products/services to federal buyers (and some state agencies) directly, on-line at GSA.gov's website. Buyers prefer to purchase from GSA Schedule holders because it simplifies the procurement process for them; there is less paperwork and red tape to muddle through. If your company has decided to join the ranks of GSA Schedule holders and increase your potential of making a federal sale, we can get you through the process of completing your proposal to GSA.

The GSA proposal document you must submit for approval is a lengthy and complicated document, you can see for yourself by visiting the GSA.gov site and downloading the schedule that fits your business. Many companies like Fedmarket.com provide full GSA Schedule services, we do the work for you preparation through submission, average price $15,000. If that's affordable to you, then that is the route I would take, get it done by a professional, leave no room for error and have it finished in a timely manner. If the dollar amount, $15,000, causes you to keel over you do have other options. Download the document, set aside a small chunk of your life and tackle the task; you may be the exception to the rule and get through the process on your own, more power to you, unfortunately most don't have the time to dedicate or the full understanding of the document to succeed or survive the process.

Fedmarket.com is offering a new solution to the GSA Schedule dilemma; the "GSA eLab."

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

The GSA Proposal Preparation eLab ("GSA eLab") is a three-day event. 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.

Quotes from eLab attendees (References available):

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! Charlie Latham Chief Operating Officer Incodea Corporation

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.

How the GSA eLab Works:

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 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.

The eLab is being offered at East and West Coast locations this summer. This is the only West Coast offering we will have in 2005.
