The GSA Schedule is a type of long-term contract categorized as ‘indefinite delivery indefinite quantity’ (IDIQ). You must make the cut to get on a ‘schedule’ (there are multiple, it can get complicated if you don’t go to their website). If you can make this exclusive club and have something that is frequently needed, success is almost too easy!
Schedules streamline the purchasing of certain products and services & come with pre-negotiated prices + other conditions for federal employees to easily make purchases in bulk or as needed.
