APEX Accelerator: Is a GSA Schedule Right for You? (2026 Update)

Description: This webinar is designed for business owners, business development professionals, and contracting teams who are considering whether a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract is the right path for their organization. The GSA MAS program is a major federal contracting vehicle that gives businesses access to long-term, government-wide contracts. However, qualifying and applying for a schedule requires time, resources, and a clear understanding of federal procurement rules. This session provides a practical overview of the program and helps businesses determine if it’s a good strategic fit. What You Will Learn:

• What the GSA MAS Schedule is, how it works, and who uses it
• The benefits and challenges of holding a GSA Schedule
• The eligibility requirements and application process
• Key indicators that a business is ready—or not yet ready—to apply
• Alternatives to a GSA Schedule, including subcontracting and teaming arrangements

Why This Matters: Pursuing a GSA Schedule can be a major investment. Understanding how the program works and whether your business is a strong candidate can help you avoid unnecessary delays, reduce risk, and focus your government sales strategy. Attendees will be able to:

• Evaluate whether a GSA Schedule aligns with their federal sales goals
• Prepare for the application process or decide to delay it until they’re better positioned
• Explore alternative ways to participate in the federal market

Target Audience: Small to mid-sized businesses considering federal contracting, including:

• Business owners, founders, or executives
• Business development and sales professionals targeting the public sector
• Companies with some experience bidding on federal work (or interest in doing so), but not yet on the MAS schedule
• Proposal managers or contract administrators new to GSA schedules
