GSA/MAS Schedule
- It is acknowledged that GSA/MAS Schedules are subject to revisions and refreshes, which may require some documents and forms required to submit the GSA application to be redone or replaced. If a client fails to respond to a request for information or data required for the application within ninety (90) days and GSA refreshes the applicable schedule during that time, the GSA reserves the right to charge a reactivation fee prior to the submission of the solicitation. The client acknowledges that its most recent year’s sales exceed ($25,000.00) for the products or services to be included in the application.
- It is represented that any products proposed to be included in the GSA Schedule application are sourced within the United States unless otherwise noted.

Under GSA regulations, if a contractor receives total orders in an amount less than $2,500 during the contract term, the GSA will pay the difference between the amount ordered and the $2,500 minimum. The client agrees that if a contract is awarded and the contract receives total orders during the five-year term of the contract awarded by the GSA in an amount less than the amount paid to Government Services Exchange for application assistance, we will pay the contractor the difference between the $2,500 minimum guaranteed under the GSA contract and the cost of the application assistance up to a maximum amount of $2,500. This guarantee does not apply if GSA terminates the contract for cause or if the contractor cancels the contract.

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.
