If you submit a GSA Schedule proposal, your company must have been in business for at least 2 years in order to be eligible for an award.
GSA recently released a Request for Information, asking current and prospective new IT companies and federal agency buyers to let them know about the barriers that prevent new, innovative IT companies from receiving a GSA contract, or from gaining contracts once awarded.
