Pursuing Opportunities (cont.)

• Check Out GSA schedule is it right for you?
• Federal agencies may use Government-wide
  Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) and GSA Federal
  Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts to make
  purchases. These pre-approved contracts are used
  to buy commonly used products, services, and
  solutions. Opportunities are rarely announced on
  FedBizOpps, but are normally competed among
  pre-qualified vendors already under contract.

Pursuing Opportunities (cont.)

• Government Purchase Card
• Though not mandatory, having the ability to
  accept credit cards may afford your firm
  opportunities it may not otherwise have
