GSA Division · Sherman Oaks, CA

The Federal Marketplace,
Without the Mystery.

We've been navigating GSA Schedule contracts for 15 years. Acquisition. Compliance. Catalog management. Published flat-rate pricing. No conflicts, ever.

What the GSA Schedule
Actually Gets You

A GSA Schedule contract places you on the U.S. Government's pre-approved vendor list — opening the door to $50+ billion in annual federal procurement spending without the overhead of open bidding for every contract.

  • Streamlined access to 170+ federal agencies and departments
  • Pre-negotiated pricing that removes competitive bid friction
  • Multi-year base contract (typically 5 years + three 5-year options)
  • GSA Advantage listing with government-wide visibility
  • Credibility signal that accelerates non-federal commercial sales

The Acquisition
Journey

A GSA Schedule acquisition typically takes 6–12 months from start to award. We guide clients through every phase — and we've done it enough times to know where the friction points are before they happen.

Phase 01 · Weeks 1–2
Eligibility & SIN Assessment
We review your offerings, financials, and commercial sales history to determine which Special Item Numbers best align with your business and federal market opportunity.
Phase 02 · Weeks 3–8
Offer Preparation
We build your offer package: CSP-1 form, price narrative, past performance documentation, Technical Proposal sections, and all required certifications and registrations.
Phase 03 · Weeks 9–16
Submission & Clarifications
We submit via eOffer and manage all Contracting Officer clarification requests. This phase is where inexperienced advisors lose momentum — we don't.
Phase 04 · Final
Negotiation & Award
We support price negotiation strategy and help you understand what to accept and what to push back on. Post-award, we handle GSA Advantage listing and onboarding requirements.

GSA FAQ

How long does GSA Schedule acquisition take?
Most acquisitions take 6–12 months from initial submission to award. The variance depends on your SIN category, the completeness of your offer, and GSA Contracting Officer workload. Our average is toward the low end of that range because we submit complete, well-structured offers the first time.
Do you take success fees or commissions on awards?
No. Our pricing is flat and published — the monthly rate is the total cost. We do not charge success fees, percentages of contract value, or any contingency fees. This is a deliberate policy designed to ensure our advice is always aligned with your interest, not our payout.
Are you a federal contractor yourselves?
No — and this is intentional. CareDesk Consultants does not hold GSA Schedules or pursue federal contracts. This means we have zero competing interests when advising you. Every recommendation we make is in your interest because we have no financial stake in which contracts you win, which agencies you target, or how you price your offers.
What if I already have a GSA Schedule and just need compliance support?
Our GSA Compliance tier at $795/month (discounted from $1,550/month) is designed exactly for this. We handle monthly monitoring, TDR/IFF reporting, price reduction clause adherence, mass modification tracking, and audit prep. Many of our best long-term clients came to us after an acquisition they did elsewhere — we take over the compliance and management seamlessly.
What industries do you work with?
We work with technology firms, professional services providers, staffing companies, and specialty service businesses across a range of SIN categories under the MAS (Multiple Award Schedule) program. The federal marketplace is not limited to defense contractors — virtually any commercial service or product category has government buyers.
