Overview
GSA is the government's procurement hub. It manages the Federal Acquisition Service, builds and maintains federal buildings, and administers the GSA Schedule (MAS) program. Winning a GSA Schedule contract is often the first step for new government contractors because it makes you visible to every federal buyer.

Practical tip
Getting on the GSA Schedule is not an end in itself. The Schedule makes you eligible, but you still have to market actively. Use GSA eBuy to find RFQs posted against your Schedule, and register in the Dynamic Small Business Search so contracting officers can find you.
