Course description

A comprehensive workshop that leads to the completion of a proposal to General Services Administration along with the guarantee of your GSA contract award. Attendees receive focused assistance in a professional learning and proposal preparation environment.

At the end of four days, the attendees will have completed GSA proposals for their companies’ products or services, including:
- The administrative files, including mandatory GSA Web-based reports, Summaries of Offer, financial reports, mandatory on-line training required by GSA and additional administrative documentation.
- Technical proposal files, where required, and past performance evaluations.
- Pricing spreadsheets and other documentation related to pricing. We offer key insights into revenue/profit enhancing strategies that can be applied to your pricing.

Government agencies spent $38,591,532,579 (yes, $38.5 BILLION) in fiscal year 2011 through GSA schedules. As agencies downsize, they are turning to GSA schedules because using the GSA schedule system is a quick and efficient way to buy goods and services, saving the government millions of dollars each year. In fact, for most agencies, use of GSA schedules has increased since the recession of 2008 began. Because of these savings, many government agencies require that all of their acquisitions be done through GSA.

Companies that have their own GSA schedules are reaping the benefits of these sales; those without GSA schedules are not. The US government is the world’s largest business and must maintain its operations by purchasing the goods and services of companies such as yours, whether the economy is up or down. GSAProposal.com continues to assist companies such as yours to position themselves favorably in this huge market. This workshop is a key component of getting your company into that market.

About this workshop

Traditionally, construction and completion of a proposal to GSA can take from a few weeks to a couple of months when the participants use email and phone calls as the primary means of communication and file preparation. While this traditional method of proposal development is tried-and-true, there’s a more efficient and effective way to create a winning proposal to GSA: GSAProposal.com’s Rapid Completion workshop.

Using a combination of targeted pre-workshop content development and face-to-face workshop time with our seasoned proposal professionals, proposal completion can be accomplished within one week. Of course, the award of your GSA contract is guaranteed with the workshop as it is with our traditional proposal preparation process.

GSAProposal.com has spent the past few years studying its own proposal processes as well as the methods employed by companies offering classes, and has developed the most efficient process for creating your successful GSA proposal.

The workshop is led by knowledgeable, highly skilled acquisition professionals who have a wealth of practical experience, both with GSA proposal preparation and as workshop leaders who know how to present complex material in an easily understandable manner. This approach ensures that every attendee will return to work with a completed GSA proposal. Some companies are in unique situations that could mean that proposal completion could carry over briefly after the workshop. Most companies that have follow-up work finish within a few days.
