A GSA Contract is a federal multiple-award contract through the General Services Administration. There is a training program which can give you good guidance located at http://vsc.gsa.gov. Click on the Vendor Training tab and choose the Pathway to Success.

When you have a GSA contract federal agencies and some state and local agencies can purchase your goods and services in an expedited manner.

Did you mean "nullify" rather than "notify". Not having a date on the contract may not nullify the contract.


How do you apply for gsa?

If you're talking GSA Schedule or GSA Contract, the following would apply: To get a GSA Contract (aka GSA Schedule, GSA MAS, GSA FSS), you prepare a proposal in response to one of GSA's solicitations. So it is not an application process, it is a proposal process. Therefore, the direct answer to your question is that you submit an acceptable GSA contract proposal in response to one of GSA's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitations. There is also some good training provided by GSA at their Vendor Support Center. Preparing an acceptable proposal can be a difficult undertaking for those companies which have not responded to many federal proposals in the past. There are many components to the proposal and sometimes the instructions provided in the solicitation are not concise nor located in one place. There are some books which can help you at amazon.com and lulu.com; however, many of those books provide more GSA contracting theory than proposal preparation assistance. I know of at least one which provides six direct steps to a gsa proposal, but suggest you review all the possibilities. Additionally, there are a multitude of companies which help businesses prepare acceptable GSA proposals. The pricing for a completely written proposal ranges from a couple of thousand dollars to well over ten thousand dollars. You can also find consulting, webinars and training modules which are offered by some of these companies. The proposal writing process can take up to 100-200 man hours, and GSA takes about 120 days to process proposals.


What is GSA approved?

It probably means you've been awarded a GSA MAS (Multiple Award Schedule) contract. GSA "approves" contractors for different GSA "Schedules" and having a contract number gives you the ability to sell direct to any USG buyer (for transactions above $3000). Here is some technical information from GSA's web site: "Orders placed against GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts, using the procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.4, are considered to be issued using full and open competition (see FAR 6.102(d)(3)). In addition, ordering activities are not required to make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, except for the price evaluation required by FAR 8.405-2(d) when ordering services requiring a statement of work. By placing an order against a GSA Schedule contract, the ordering activity has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the government's needs."

Was does gsa mol mean?

Maximum Order Limit. Basically it is interchangeable with MOT or Maximum Order Thereshold. It is the price at which you GSA schedule pricing no longer applies and becomes a negotiated price. Example, if I sell chairs that list for $200 on my GSA contract for 50% off and my MOT is $100,000, if I get an opportunity to sell more than 1000 chairs I can negotiate a different price. With that said, you can ALWAYS sell to the government for less, just not more unless you've exceeded MOT.
