SUMMARY:GSA Multiple Award Schedule – Is It Right For Your Company? (2024 Update)
DESCRIPTION:There’s a common misconception in government contracting: obtaining a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is your golden ticket to an influx of unsolicited orders from government entities. However\, the reality is quite different. Despite holding a MAS\, a significant number of contractors fall short of the GSA’s annual sales benchmark. This webinar will explain the criteria to determine whether the MAS fits your company and what you sell. You will also learn what GSA’s MAS is and is not\, how to determine who buys what you sell using the MAS\, how to determine competitive pricing and more.
