What a MAS contract has done for real businesses
Anonymized stories from our client files. Results vary, but the patterns repeat.
From subcontractor to prime
An IT firm that had only worked under prime contractors got a MAS to gain pricing credibility and its first vehicle of its own. It then added IDIQ positions and began bidding on high-profile procurements as a prime.
Found by local buyers
A DC-area video production company needed exposure and a vehicle. Once on the schedule, contracting officers in the area began finding and calling the firm through GSA Advantage!.
Small schedule sales, big exposure
A firm specializing in rare languages was found in eLibrary by defense and homeland security buyers. Direct schedule sales were modest, about $100,000 a year, but the visibility led to invitations to bid on other vehicles and several million dollars of additional federal sales.
From zero to $2 million
A training and team-building consultancy kept being asked by agency buyers if it had a schedule. After getting one, it built relationships at three departments, was invited to IDIQ bids, and grew from no federal sales to over $2 million in about four years.
Selling to the base next door
A storage and tool rental business near two federal facilities used its schedule to sell and rent equipment directly to those installations.
Millions a year from one agency
A specialized medical staffing firm that began in its founder's apartment used a schedule to place medical personnel with a public health agency, then expanded to more contracts. It now does millions per year with that single agency.
Protecting a position
A supplier held a hospital contract because a contracting officer allowed an exception to the schedule system. It feared losing it on the officer's retirement. When the relevant schedule opened, we got the firm on it, removing that business risk and opening other hospitals.
Recovering lost sales
A maker of emergency medical kits saw sales collapse without a schedule. With a letter from a defense customer to support expedited review, we secured the award and sales exceeded their previous high.
