With a budget of more than $500 billion, the U.S. government is the largest consumer of products and services in the world. Federal, state and regional agencies represent a tremendous market for small businesses. Many businesses have learned that government contracting work can be a steady and reliable source of income since the government must continue business in both good times and bad.
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is the purchasing agent for the government with an annual procurement spend of tens of billions of dollars. The role of the agency is to simplify the buying process and to aggregate the government's buying power to achieve the best value for the hundreds of federal agencies, as well as state and local buyers who are eligible to participate.
The Mastering the GSA Schedule session moderated by Dona Storey, GovTipsbiz.com with panelists Judith Nelson, General Services Administration (GSA) and Alan Wozniak, Pure Air Control Services was well attended by over 300 attendees during two back to back sessions. During each session attendees learned about the GSA Schedule goals, advice from successful contractor, the process in preparing the GSA schedule, and how to market your GSA schedule.
Seminar presenter Alan Wozniak, President/CEO of Pure Air Control Services stated “it was enjoyable assisting other fellow small businesses providing direction and encouragement about the surroundings of the GSA schedule, how to procure the schedule as well as how to effectively market.”
