GSE’s Process
Over decades, we have ironed out a process proven to work in the Government marketplace from registrations to GSA/MAS Schedule placements. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you give us permission to follow our approach to provide you with the best service possible. That process is as follows:
Onboarding (33%)
You’ll receive a call to schedule a convenient time to go over your capabilities with a specialist. This is important as we will review all of your information given so far, and welcome you to the GSE family.
Collections (33%)
GSE will review and select the appropriate information that we need from your firm. This information will be collected and presented in an application. You will also be sent a checklist with descriptions of the documents that we’ll need you to gather based on the service we are providing for you. We cannot move forward without this information.
Review & Submittal (33%)
Your file will go through several review processes. The first review will happen once we have all the collectible information on the first checklist we send you. We will have the review team check the file for any mistakes. For the next review, if anything is missing or in the wrong format, your file will be returned to a processor to be corrected. This is a back and forth process that takes time.
We will review your entire application and all supporting documents with a fine-tooth comb one last time. Once submitted, you’ll receive various emails/calls notifying you of all the progress as it occurs during submission.
