GSA Advantage Services
Rozycki Associates offers a complete line of GSA Advantage services. Once your contract is awarded, we can provide upload services to keep your product and service listings current on the Advantage system.
What is GSA Advantage?
GSA Advantage, located at www.gsaadvantage.gov,
is an e-commerce site which enables federal buyers to perform market research and issue orders
to GSA Schedule contractors. Participation on Advantage is mandatory
for all Schedule holders.
Used correctly, it can dramatically slash sales cycle time and get contracts and pricing information to government buyers in far-flung locations. Small firms should be especially excited about GSA Advantage since it puts them on the same level as the largest systems integrators.
How exactly does Advantage work?
Once your contract is awarded, you must upload your product/service
pricing and terms to the Advantage site. Contracting Officers can then issue
on-line orders using SmartPay government credit cards.
When visiting Advantage, government employees can search by company, keyword, contract number, part number, etc. It's a great way to allow government buyers to quickly find your products/services.
You can even add pictures or links to your company website to your Advantage listings.
Why would I need Rozycki Associates to assist me with this?
Unfortunately, the GSA Advantage system does not use a simple file transfer
program to upload your information.
It uses a government-developed piece of software known as the Schedules Input Program (SIP). This is not a program which is intuitive to learn, and many companies do not want to assign an employee to learn an unusual program that will only be used a few times.
Using us to handle your Advantage work is a cost-effective way to keep your employees focused on what they do best.
Rozycki Associates offers total GSA Advantage compliance services.
