During Unit One we will be covering the basics regarding the GSA schedule program. We will first discuss what exactly a GSA schedule is. We will follow this by learning more about the cooperative purchasing program which is a special program available to two of the GSA schedules. Lastly we will discuss how to use and customize the GSA schedules logo. Most government contractors don’t realize the full potential of the GSA logo, but we want to make sure you are ready to use it to your advantage.
In Unit Two we will be learning about some of the free sites that are available for anyone to use that are beneficial especially to GSA schedule holders. These are GSA Advantage, GSA eBuy, and Schedule Sales Query, or SSQ.

SSQ is great for research purposes and can help you learn about the overall movement and health of your GSA schedule.
