How to Use GSA Schedule
Contracts, like EAS and MOBIS?
The General Services Administration
(GSA) has streamlined ordering procedures
and reduced the tedious, time-consuming
government procurement process to a few
simple steps. GSA has done this by pre-qualifying
vendors to perform a range of services.
GSA has reviewed vendor qualifications,
capabilities and cost schedules in advance
of the need for services. This approval
is valid for all organizations in the federal
government and other governmental agencies.
The entire process, from identifying the
Statement of Work (SOW) to having a contractor
on board, can be completed in as little
as a few days to a few weeks.
Using perhaps the most common
approach, you may initiate the process by
providing 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
(i.e., not necessarily the lowest cost).
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. The general steps in this process
are as follows:
- Step 1: The need for support
is identified;
- Step 2: Contract representative
issues a scope of work to 3 pre-approved
GSA vendors;
- Step 3: Responses and price
lists are reviewed;
- Step 4: A "best value"
selection is made;
- Step 5: A task order is
issued.
