How to Use the Schedule
GSA’s streamlined ordering procedures have reduced the tedious, time-consuming government procurement process to a few simple steps. GSA has done this by prequalifying vendors to perform a range of services. GSA has reviewed vendor qualifications, capabilities and cost schedules in advance of the need for services, and indentified these vendors, by type of service, on its www.gsaadvantage.gov web site. This approval is valid for all organizations in the federal government and other government agencies, and the entire process, from identifying the Statement of Work (SOW) to having a contractor on board, can be completed in as little as three weeks. To initiate the process, provide your contracts officer with a SOW. Your contracts officer will issue your SOW to three approved GSA Environmental Services vendors. You and your contracts officer then review the vendors’ responses, and select the “best value” contractor. A contract order is issued directly to the selected contractor. GSA has put the process in place, and will assist you, if needed, but does not get involved in your procurement process.
