GSA Sales in 2018, IT Schedule
Contractors
Average Sales per Contractor
The Information Technology category of the MAS (GSA Schedule) Program offers IT Services, Hardware, Software, and a variety of specialty IT offerings. Previously known as IT Schedule 70, this is one of the largest government contracts. For decades, The GSA’s IT Schedule 70 has been the largest moneymaker for the GSA. Consistently, Schedule 70 accounts for about half of the sales going through the GSA Contract program (all 33 GSA Schedules). IT Schedule 70 is a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract under the GSA Schedule Program. The type of contract is called an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), which means that there are no orders or dollars attached to the award, but it is rather a channel for sales to flow through (i.e. a License to hunt). It is the major procurement vehicle for IT products, software and Professional Services.
Contractors that sell IT products, software, and Professional Services, may want to consider pursuing the GSA IT Schedule 70 Contract to grow or develop their Federal Business prospects. GSA Schedule 70 is the largest within the GSA Schedules Program both by sales and the competition. The average amount of revenue of a GSA Schedule 70 Contractor is about $3.1 million per year.
Primarily, the Schedule 70 Contract is used to sell to federal buyers. However, State, Municipal and Local government agencies can purchase through the Cooperative Purchasing and Disaster Recovery programs. That being said, the federal government mainly uses The GSA IT Schedule 70 as a major source for simplified IT purchases. Federal buyers enjoy the value that IT Schedule 70 purchases bring in saving time and money.
