GSA Schedules: The Granddaddy of IDIQ Contracts
GSA Schedules are the grandfather of all IDIQs.
- They are open to small businesses.
- A services company can be virtually assured of obtaining a GSA contract if it can demonstrate its capabilities, has solid financial statements, and is willing to negotiate prices.
- GSA Schedules are usually 20-year contracts; an initial five-year contract followed by three five-year options.
- Federal buyers like to purchase from GSA Schedule holders because buys can be made quickly with a minimum of paperwork.
About $40 billion, or 7 plus percent, of last year's $535 billion in total federal procurement spending was awarded through GSA Schedules.
