Introduction to GSA Schedules - Los Angeles June 18, 2009

Federal agencies spent more than $385 billion in contract dollars during FY2008. The GSA Schedule program is a vital procurement tool for the federal government as well as a potential source of nearly limitless revenue for GSA Schedule vendors. However, winning a Schedule award can be a complex, time consuming and costly process and,to be honest, it simply isn't the right fit for every business.
