GSA Approval is a status used to describe organizations that have been approved to sell to the United States Government through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The GSA is the purchasing department of the U.S. Government and lists contracts or schedules that potential vendors can bid on to get government business.
GSA approval is a non-industry specific status for organizations that manufacture products or provide services that the U.S. Government uses.
To become eligible to bid on a GSA schedule, organizations must complete a number of steps including but not limited to obtaining a DUNS number, registering in the government’s SAM (System for Award Management) and providing previous customer contact information as a means for the GSA to perform a past performance evaluation.
