About GSE
At Government Services Exchange, we have over 25 years of combined experience as government contract consultants. We speak Government. We handle all of the qualification criteria and integration for your company so you can continue to run your business.
Learning how to sell successfully to the U.S. government, the world’s largest purchaser of goods and services, can be very appealing while daunting. However, choosing the proper partner to assist you in taking on the U.S. Government as a client will be the key to your success. At Government Services Exchange, we have the tools and know-how to help you accomplish your goals of growing your business in the Government direction.
Let’s face it; Government Contracting is one of the most consistent streams of revenue for most companies. If you are properly guided through the process, your business can and will soar. For instance, business owners do not realize that the Government spends approximately 1.4 billion dollars per day on goods and services it needs to run the country, and almost all business is done online.
The U.S. Government first and foremost operates as a business, and Government Procurement Officers and Contracting Officers purchase everything from paperclips to aircraft carriers. So they need businesses to do so. Many small businesses do not realize that a minimum of 23% of all money that is spent must go to Small Businesses.

Ready to Get Started?
Can I Compete Even With A Small Business?
Our company takes you through the nuances and hurdles by doing the heavy lifting to get you up and running. In fact, given the proper guidance, your company can be up and running with the Government and enjoying a recession-proof division to your current business portfolio in a matter of months. The best part is every business needs sales, so you need salespeople. One of the most lucrative careers is sales why because salespeople typically make hefty commissions. In most cases, properly aligning your company in the Government Sector will not need salespeople to pay continually.
A Diverse, Dedicated Team
We are passionate about Government Contracting because we know the profitability. However, we also know how much misinformation is out there. Many of your “would be” competitors are not in the market because of the daunting nature of getting to the truth. For instance, you would be surprised to see how few vendors are on each of the GSA Schedules.
Small businesses do not take advantage of these opportunities often because it is so hard to identify a trusted partner that will guide you along the right path in pursuant of doing business with Uncle Sam.

Frequently Asked Questions
The small business certification process and government contracting can be difficult to grasp. You have questions, we have answers. Take a look below, and if you have any further questions, feel free to call and speak with a specialist to see if you’re a good fit for certification with GSE.
The General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule is the “general store” for the Federal Government. While GSA Schedules are mainly used by the Federal Government, Cooperative Purchasing lets state and local governments benefit from the simplified procurement process.
Suppose your organization sells “Commercial Off The Shelf” products and services. In that case, you should consider acquiring a GSA Schedule, provided you meet the following criteria: You’ve conducted market research and are confident in the potential to sell your products/services through the GSA, you are prepared to offer a competitive market price to the government for your products/services, your federal registrations are complete, optimized, and active, and you have a high-quality Capability Statement to send to government buyers upon request. Whether you need the extra money coming in or want to sell to a reliable and trustworthy source, the federal government is one of the best ways of doing so.
If your organization sells goods or services, then you should consider acquiring a GSA Schedule as a tool to sell to the Federal Government.
If your business is struggling or you simply want more sales and acquisitions, a GSA Schedule will allow you to compete for billions of dollars worth of contracts.
The Federal Government buyers spend billions of dollars annually through money set-aside for GSA Schedule contracts. The GSA Schedule is the most widely used government contracting vehicle thanks to its streamlined procurement process and ability to be used by any federal agency. Making it the most lucrative part of government contracting.
We do not assist in starting up businesses. We help small established businesses obtain certifications, registrations, and contracts.
We do not distribute grants or loans. At GSE we help you expedite registrations, certifications, and contracts. With that being said, to receive grants and loans from the government, you must be SAM Registered. We can help you get SAM Registered!
- Research Government agencies. You should conduct extensive research on the government sector you plan to apply for, their spending, procurement procedures, and general business practices. Use GovExpert, our vast marketing database with all the information accessible for your company to take advantage of Government Contracts.
- Fulfill the size requirements. The Small Business Administration (SBA) determines size requirements for every industry that clarify the qualifications of companies for a specific contract.
- Submit your bid. Keep in mind before you place your bid to study each contract in depth because the federal government adheres to its laws and guidelines diligently and have a deep understanding of the contract’s terms and conditions. These are important because you may lose your chance to submit a bid for a government contract and face legal issues if you do not.
- Get your response. Each proposal that is presented is carefully evaluated by the government. The review and response of your bid can take 30 to 120 days. Once your offer has been chosen, you will receive personal updates from the agency you will be working with.
Steps we take to help you win contracts:
- Register your business with the System for Award Management (SAM).
- Acquire a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. NAICS codes are a requirement for all businesses by the government and are used to categorize businesses, the industry they are a part of, as well as their financial records, tax obligations, and financial data.
- Verify your EIN. The Government mandates the possession of Employee Identification Numbers (EIN) by businesses that receive federal contracts. Free Federal Tax ID Numbers are available from the International Revenue Service.
- Get Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. Every business receives a CAGE Code, a 5-digit code used to identify your company.
- Apply for your certification!
