GSA Schedule Consulting Services for Government Contractors

Understanding the Government Services Administration (GSA) Schedule is crucial to the success of government contractors (GovCons). This comprehensive schedule provides access to a large customer base of government agencies and buyers who typically prefer using it to procure contracting goods and services.

While GSA Scheduling simplifies the procurement process for government entities, it can be challenging to navigate for GovCons. Enlisting the services of knowledgeable GSA Schedule consultants can streamline the acquisition process and maximize business opportunities for contractors. A capable consultant can also mitigate the risks of GSA noncompliance, which can range from contract termination to substantial fines and penalties.

One Month Check-In – How is it going? 

My experience with BOOST to date has been quite positive, and I very much appreciate that you were willing to take us as a client when we are so small.  I mean it:  There’s risk in taking on smaller clients when there’s a minimum amount of work no matter the client’s size.  But I look forward to growing with you guys.  Speaking of growth, we’re up to XX people now and likely will add XX more by the end of the year.  That’s double where we were a year ago.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Want to learn more? Check out these common questions and answers:

1. What is a GSA schedule and why do I need one?

A GSA Schedule can be a valuable tool to expand government sales if your company has:

  • Goods and Services that are needed by Government Agencies
  • Customers requesting you get a GSA Schedule
  • Experience selling to Government Agencies
  • Competitors that have a GSA Schedule such that your market penetration is limited without one
  • Market research supporting GSA Schedule sales

2. Does BOOST offer proposal reviews for government compliance?

Yes, we offer pre-proposal requirements review and post-proposal compliance review.

3. Can BOOST’s contract services combine with BOOST’s other services for government contractors?

Yes, BOOST offers the following services: accounting (including CFO support), human resources (HR), talent acquisition and recruiting and strategic pricing. We collaborate internally when multiple services are being performed for a client to provide a seamless business cadence.

4. How does BOOST handle a GovCon client’s needs for surge support?

Client requirements are always prioritized. We ask clients to provide timelines so that we can meet urgent needs as quickly as possible. We evaluate tasking and priority items. Tasks such as proposal support, TAs and subcontract reviews take priority over routine tasks such as preparing contract briefs.

5. How does BOOST handle ethics compliance for government contractors?

For new government contractors, BOOST will ensure that the contractors understand the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements in having a corporate ethics policy (52.203-13 Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct).

By becoming familiar with the client’s operations, we will be able to advise clients on any ethical issues that may arise during contract performance. BOOST advises clients to ask when in doubt.

6. What makes BOOST’s contract services for government contractors stand out from the competition?

Our contract professionals have over 100 years of combined government contracts experience from both the government side and private industry side.

We have four former government contracting officers on our team, which gives us a multi-faceted approach to contract support, allowing us to give perspectives from both the industry and the government side.

Given the depth and breadth of government contracting experience, there are not many situations that our team has not encountered.

7. How do BOOST’s customized contractual document templates work? Are they branded?

Using preexisting templates is a cost-saving measure for GovCons.  BOOST contractual templates are BOOST intellectual property, which we utilize to meet client needs. We customize each template for clients.

8. How does BOOST handle negotiated workshare?

When reviewing a Teaming Agreement (TA), BOOST works with clients to allow for the TA to reflect the maximum workshare they can achieve, given the type of acquisition and classification of their business against the RFP requirements.

9. How does BOOST help their GovCon clients handle conflict of interest issues?

We get a full picture of the situation generating the conflicts, gain an understanding of the GovCon’s organizational structure and suggest strategies to mitigate effectively.
