You may be wondering “Is the Federal Government Market Right for Me?”
Yes…Maybe…No…Depends!
That’s the question that many businesses assume they know the answer and as a result, may “blindly” chase the government market to no avail. It is important to internally assess your capabilities and ask the right questions:
- How do I sell to the government?
- Who do I talk with?
- How does the government buy?
- How do I advertise my business to the government?
- Why do you want to sell to the government?
- What agencies do you have a relationship with?
- Which new agencies will you target?
- When do these agencies buy and with what contracting method?
- Who are your competitors and what agencies do they sell to?
- Where do I find agency and competitor sales history?
- What is a GSA Schedule contract, and do I need one?
- What do I include in the GSA proposal package?
- What discounts do I have to offer GSA?
- My commercial contract terms are different, will the government accept them?
- Do I have to offer GSA my lowest price?
- What GSA forms do I have to fill out, and how long does it take?
- What are the “costs” of doing business with GSA/Federal government?
- Do we have internal resources/personnel to manage the on-going contract?
- What, if any, reporting do I have to do?
- Can I use the GSA Schedule for State & Local government?
