Washington, DC -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/08/2014 -- “Without a GSA Schedule contract, small businesses are at a disadvantage,” states Jason Dunn, Senior Advisor, at Commercial Connections and Research Center, a Government Procurement Consulting firm. He adds, “we’ve been helping small businesses of every kind sell to the government for the past 16 years as the rush to government procurement expands."

In 2013, the U.S. government spent $34.8 billion with companies that were directly contracted with the government through the GSA. GSA schedule holders consistently outperformed government contractors that were not on a GSA schedule. During 2013, those GSA schedule holders that actively promoted and sold to the government averaged $2.5 million in GSA sales. Estimates show that the U.S. government will spend approximately $3.7 trillion in 2014. With 23 percent of all government expenditures federally mandated, to be made with small businesses, becoming a certified vendor for government buyers can prove extremely valuable in increased sales and revenue.

Holding a GSA Schedule is the most direct way to lower barriers of entry into the federal marketplace. It provides vendors with the preferred tool that the government wants to use to make purchases. A General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule contract is a quick, efficient buying vehicle. Vendors who have done business with the government in the past are being urged by government buyers to become a GSA vendor to continue to sell to the federal government.

Mr. Dunn asserts: "Our sole mission is to help small businesses get awarded government work."

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Commercial Connections & Research Center and Jason Dunn understand the important role that small businesses play in the overall economy in creating jobs. They want to lend their expertise to assist with the GSA process and related marketing so that qualifying companies can participate in government contracting and benefit from government-mandated spending with small businesses.
