Give Me 5: Considering a GSA Schedule? What you need to know!

Fifty-eight percent of active women federal contractors make less than $1 million in revenues per year according to a recent survey from American Express OPEN for Government Contracts.

One strategy for female business owners to gain more revenues through federal contracting is through GSA Schedule Contracts – also known as Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules – which establish long-term, government-wide contracts with companies to provide access to millions of commercial products and services at volume discount pricing.

The Give Me 5 program is hosting a free webinar led by Courtney Fairchild, President of Global Services Inc. to aid women business owners who are considering the GSA Schedule.  The webinar will teach the benefits and limitations of getting on a GSA Schedule and the minimum requirements to prime the contract.

The Give Me 5 program was created by American Express OPEN and Women Impacting Public Policy in 2008 to help women business owners get a leg up on selling to the world’s largest customer:  the U.S. government.
