GSA Schedules
GSA Schedules have become the prefered method of purchasing.
Over the past ten years government contracting has changed.
The marketplace is much less formal than is use to be, procurement
methods are being streamlined and GSA Schedule holders are getting a bigger
piece of the pie.
Fedmarket.com provides GSA Schedule proposal preparation services for companies
interested in obtaining a schedule. Our service offers a comprehensive approach,
emphasizing procedural elements.
In order to get more information on GSA Schedules, please contact: Matt Hankes,
Director of Sales 888.661.4094, Ext. 26 or send Mr. Hankes an email at

* SALES TIP OF THE WEEK *
Contracting Officer Authority and Personal Service Contracts
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) specifically states that, with very
limited exceptions, federal employees are prohibited from creating "personal
services contracts" with the employees of their contractors. In other words,
a federal employee is prohibited from directly and continuously supervising
a contractor's employee. "A prohibited employer-employee relationship under
a service contract occurs when, as a result of (i) the contract's terms or
(ii) the manner of its administration during performance, contractor
personnel are subject to the relatively continuous supervision and control
of a Government officer or employee. However, giving an order for a specific
article or service, with the right to reject the finished product or result,
is not the type of supervision or control that converts an individual who
is an independent contractor (such as a contractor employee) into a
Government employee." See FAR 37.104(c)(1).
