Description

The General Services Administration, Federal Supply Service's Multiple Award Schedules Program provides commercial services and products to the Federal Government on a worldwide basis. These Federal Supply Schedule programs are constantly expanding its range of services and products and streamlining processes, making it easier to shop, order, and pay. The Corporate Contract is a new Federal Supply Schedule that offers a single storefront for all services and products under the Schedules program. It is a single schedule covering all commercial items procured by Federal Supply Service as outlined in the solicitation documents. As knowledge brokers, we envision corporate contracting adding more value by reducing administrative costs, shortening lead times for both Government and industry while ensuring quality services and products. Corporate Contracts offer both small and large businesses the opportunity to provide their entire business lines in a single schedule -- no more hunting for the right schedule fit-eliminating redundancy in preparing bids, publishing price lists and reporting sales, reducing administration costs and thus reducing costs to do business. Offers may be submitted in a consolidated fashion saving time and money. From a customer perspective, corporate contracting will provide a single entryway to the commercial marketplace -- no more searching through various schedules to find needed items-and will reduce administrative work. Total solutions for customer requirements will be available, easily accessible and provide a best value, greatest overall benefit approach through the corporate contract. Customers can build multiple partnerships with small and large businesses to accomplish the multiplicity of tasks required in meeting mission requirements.
