Okay, I'll ask the next question. How do I get to be one of those smaller players. Ha!

- smacktoward 7y agoYou'd need to get your business listed on the GSA's schedule of approved contractors (see https://www.gsa.gov/buying-selling/purchasing-programs/gsa-schedules https://www.gsa.gov/buying-selling/purchasing-programs/gsa-s...). Being "on the schedule" means you've already been pre-vetted and deemed a legitimate vendor by the GSA. For government agencies, doing business with a contractor on the GSA schedule lets them skip a whole bunch of approvals and paperwork that they'd otherwise have to do if they just pulled in a vendor off the street. Getting on the schedule can be a long and bureaucratic process, but once you're on it you have a privileged position when it comes to winning government business. So if you want to sell to the Feds, you really want to be on that schedule.
