BLOG Update: GSA

Launch Activityby Eric Lehner

The following are some specifics that illustrate work going on behind the scenes to activate the GSA breakthrough. The bullet points demonstrate the (high) level of activity now underway. This is the sort of engagement that we have been preparing for, and are now carrying out. These are only sample points for illustration. There is more.

GSA Advantage website presence: We have been steadily updating the SIP program for upload to the GSA Advantage site and will have it ready for internal team review later this afternoon or early tomorrow. After that, the GSA Contract Officer reviews. We are targeting it being operational very early November. This depends upon EDI activation details.

ASAP: Submitting hardcopy advertisement to GSA MarkeTips Magazine

Currently: Pursuing NAVSEA review/approval for products AKA NAVY approval for Shipboard Use .

Next week: Possible Detergent RFQ Opportunity

1st Week of November: Commence use of e-Buy system to bid on available contracts (only available to schedule holders) https://vsc.gsa.gov/registration/benefits_sellers.cfm

2nd Week of November: Start marketing to Federal/Military organizations

2nd Week of November: Introducing GSA contract logoson company website, Facebook etc.

November 2, 2011: GSA Expo Registration for May 2012 conference in Texas

After 1 November - A customer can request an NSN # through their supply channels - This is beneficial if there is no access to GSA Advantage/Government Purchase card and they have to go through the base supply system to request an item such as in a remote location. More detail will be provided in due course.

January 2012 - We are in line to also be available on EMALL. They will next be adding vendors January. http://www.dlis.dla.mil/emall.asp.
