GSA & VA CONTRACT SUBMITTAL BOOT CAMP

Overview

GSA schedule contracting is one of the federal government's preferred procurement methods. However, most companies have little or no experience in developing a successful GSA offering, and as a result, many offers are rejected, not even submitted, or take an exorbitant length of time to award . Do you have the skills necessary to navigate the growing regulations while profiting from these vehicles? We offer a comprehensive two-day course that teaches all of the requirements of the offering process, best-value determination, basis-of-award concept, as well as options you may not be aware of in the offering development process. Through this program, you will gain a thorough understanding of the issues relating to development, management, and maintenance of a GSA Schedule Contract, and will have an understanding of the steps you need to take to develop a contract offering.
