How to Get on the GSA Schedule

If you're wondering how to get on the GSA Schedule, know that it's a formal and competitive process. SSRJ Consulting helps small businesses navigate every step, from readiness to final submission.

What Is the GSA Schedule?

The General Services Administration (GSA) manages a government-wide contract vehicle called the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)—commonly known as the GSA Schedule.

Every federal agency uses it to streamline purchases of:

  • Professional services

  • IT solutions and cybersecurity tools

  • Training, logistics, and business support services

  • Software and hardware

Being on the Schedule means faster awards, increased credibility, and access to long-term federal buyers.
