As a small business owner without thousands of dollars to spend on consulting services to create my GSA proposal, I had hoped this book would provide the detail needed to complete the task.

The "Getting a GSA Schedule - A Step by Step Guide" by Scott Orbach and Judity Nelson is a well written high level overview of the process required to get on schedule with GSA -- it is most assurably NOT a step by step guide.

A step by step guide would have included detailed checklists and sample documents (more than just the subcontracting plan and sample letter of supply.)

The book provides "just enough" information with plenty of links to the company website where you can purchase services to assist you in the completion of your GSA Schedule proposal.

I was disapointed with this book. it had large pring and did not give examples for the gsa application. a lot of fluff. I think there are better ways to get this information.
just work on your business discription.

My company currently deals with government agencies, but these customers requested we get a GSA contract since it makes it easier for them to purchase from us. When I went online to check it out, as I suspected, it was nearly impossible to figure out.

Instead of wasting hours on this task, i went to Amazon and found this book. It explains every step of the process in simple terms, and with the appendix, you can go online and get the information as you read the book. I now have a good understanding of everything from what information I need before i start the process, to how long it will take and what happens after I submit the proposal to the GSA.

Since the book is put out by a company called EZGSA that can either assist you with the forms or do it for you, I have an option depending on my time and money constraints.

Proposal preparation for the GSA Schedule is difficult for many reasons, one being that the requirements change so often. This book is now out of date and the author has since produced books on the same subject.

not a real value. much of this was readily available for free on the internet. if you have to have it, get a used copy.
