The GSA Schedule Proposal Preparation Workshop — presented by Georgia Tech’s Contracting Education Academy — continues to get rave reviews from everyone who’s attended.

The most recent Workshop was held in July on Georgia Tech’s Midtown Atlanta campus.  Here’s what the attendees had to say:

• “I received a vast amount of information on how to apply for a GSA Schedule contract.  I valued the one-on-one question-answering provided by the instructors.”

• “I expected a canned presentation consisting of a lot of theoretical advice, but I received practical and specific help to understand the GSA application.  I really valued the instructor’s knowledge and communication skills.”

• “This workshop provided excellent advice and training, walking through all the documents in detail.  I valued the relaxed environment, the ability to work at my own pace, and the ability to ask lots of questions.”

• “I now have a complete understanding of the step-by-step process to complete my company’s proposal to the GSA.  The workbook, examples, templates, and the presentation – all very well put together.”

• “I expected a great presentation from Georgia Tech, but was afraid of information overload.  The presenter and the presentation were fantastic …. I now have a much clearer idea of how to get on a GSA Schedule.”

• “I received one-on-one assistance with filling-out various proposal forms and walking through the submission and upload process.  Fantastic!”

• “I received significant information and background on what GSA reviewers and contracting officers are looking for, and I valued the forms for completing my GSA Schedule proposal and building my pricing.”

So far, 45 persons have attended Georgia Tech’s GSA Workshop since it was launched at the beginning of the year.  To date, every single businessperson has either prepared their proposal or submitted it to GSA for award.

Is your company considering going after a GSA Schedule contract?  Maybe you should consider these facts:

• The federal General Services Administration (GSA) awards about $50 billion in blanket contracts known as “Schedules” to hundreds of companies each year.

• Eighty percent (80%) of Schedule contractors are small businesses who are successful at 36% of those sales.

The process to win a GSA Schedule contract begins with a proposal, an arduous task that often takes several months to prepare. But, now, thanks to Georgia Tech’s Workshop, a GSA proposal can be actually completed during the Workshop.   If a business is not prepared to submit all the documentation at the time of the Workshop, the GSA proposal preparation process easily can be shortened to within 30 days following the Workshop.
