How to Market to the Government

Marketing to the Government

To succeed with your MAS Information Technology contract, you'll need to actively promote your business to potential government customers.

The way you market your products is up to you.

Your Potential Customer Base

Your customer base includes organizations eligible to Use GSA Sources of Supply and Service [PDF - 476 KB] such as executive, military, and other federal agencies.

State and local governments can use MAS Information Technology through Cooperative Purchasing, Disaster Recovery Purchasing, and Schedules.

GSA's Cooperative Purchasing Program allows state and local governments to purchase a variety of commercial supplies (products) and services under specific GSA Schedule contracts to save time and money, and meet their everyday needs and missions. It also allows them to access and purchase IT products and services, as well as law enforcement, security, first responder, marine craft equipment, alarm and signal systems, and special purpose clothing.

Request for Quotations (RFQs)

  • eBuy - Government buyers can post a Request for Quote via eBuy, a component of GSA Advantage!®. MAS contractors can submit quotes to any RFQ corresponding to the Schedule and Special Item Numbers (SINs) listed in their contract. eBuy is an excellent tool for finding new business. It is only available to contractors on a Schedule or on a Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). Watch for orders or Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) here that can be set aside for small businesses.
  • SAM.gov You can search for active federal opportunities on this site. Government buyers are required to post any open market procurements over $25,000 (excluding such vehicles as MAS, GWACS, and orders under agency IDIQ contracts). SAM.gov is not used for GSA Schedule buys, but it serves to inform interested companies about federal contracting opportunities.
