GSA Schedules and Contract Vehicles
How to Use this Contract

The GSA schedules are competitively awarded schedule contracts each with fixed labor rates and are available to all federal agencies and their approved contractors. The fixed hourly rates have already been determined “fair and reasonable” by the Government. Task Orders referencing the GSA schedule number flow directly from the agency to the awardee. There is no middle man, no need to advertise in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD), and no need to coordinate with anyone outside your own agency. Each agency has contract procedures to follow when using this streamlined and simplified procurement process. Refer to FAR 8.4 for complete details. The following is an overview of the steps required when using the GSA schedules.
