GSA Assists Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses To Do Business with the Federal Government

In December 2003, the President of the United States and Congress enacted Public Law 108-183. This law established a preference for the U.S. federal government to contract with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).  This law was enacted as a follow on to P.L. 106-50, which designated that three percent of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards by the federal government be awarded to SDVOSBs.

As the fifth largest procurement organization of the U.S. federal government, GSA is prepared to assist SDVOSBs to sell their products and services to the federal government, as well as assist federal agencies in identifying and utilizing Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under GSA contract. 

GSA operates three unique services for U.S. federal government customers. These are the Federal Supply Service, the Public Buildings Service, and the Federal Technology Service.

GSA’s Federal Supply Service (FSS) contracts for products and services for federal government use through their Multiple Award Schedules Program and various other contracting vehicles.  Currently, over 79 percent of FSS Multiple Award Schedule contractors are small businesses.  FSS business volume is over $25 billion dollars annually and offers more products and services than any commercial enterprise in the world.

The mission of GSA’s Public Buildings Service (PBS) is to provide a superior workplace for the federal worker and superior value to the American taxpayer.  To construct, maintain, and repair these workplaces, PBS contracts with private sector businesses.

GSA's Federal Technology Service (FTS) delivers best value and innovative solutions in Information Technology, Network Services, and Professional Services to support government agency missions worldwide.  FTS is dedicated to supporting socioeconomic concerns through its contracting opportunities.

In total, GSA acts as a catalyst for nearly $66 billion annually in federal spending.
