GSA: BUILDING SMALL BUSINESS CAPACITY

FOR THE 21^ST^ CENTURY

2003-2004

**U.S. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION**

**If you have a product or service to sell, it's probably something that
the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) buys. Each year, GSA --
the Federal Government's business manager, supplies and services buyer,
real estate developer, telecommunications manager, and computer
solutions provider -- contracts for billions of dollars worth of
products and services. Because it provides the workspace, supplies,
equipment and support that other federal agencies need to do their jobs,
GSA is one of the Federal Government's biggest buyers.**

**Most of GSA's buying is handled by its three major business lines: The
Federal Supply Service (FSS), the Public Buildings Service (PBS) and the
Federal Technology Service (FTS). FSS procures almost \$6 billion worth
of goods and services annually for U.S. Government agencies throughout
the world. Purchases range from pencils and paper to information
technology services. PBS is responsible for planning, designing,
building, restoring, renovating, decorating, providing landscaping for,
and leasing (civilian occupied) Government owned buildings and other
facilities. It is also responsible for the operation, maintenance and
security of its buildings. FTS provides value-added information
technology solutions and network services through FTS associates and
contracted vendors through in-place contracts.**

**GSA has implemented a single, agency-wide electronic posting system
called FedBizOpps (www.fbo.gov) for soliciting quotations, bids and
proposals from prospective vendors in excess of \$25,000. GSA provides
paper copies of solicitations *only when it does not anticipate adequate
competition for an acquisition.* This Internet-based system improves the
efficiency of the acquisition process. FedBizOpps also provides
contractors access to agency business opportunities in their specific
areas of interest. You are encouraged to visit the site www.fbo.gov, to
register to receive, via e-mail, notification of solicitations and
awards.**

**WHERE TO START AND WHERE TO GET ASSISTANCE**

**If you are interested in doing business with the Federal Government or
wish to know more about contracting opportunities with the U.S. General
Services Administration (GSA), the place to start is the Small Business
Utilization Center.**

**The Small Business Utilization Center is commonly referred to as the
"Front Door" to GSA. There is a Small Business Utilization Center
located within each of the eleven GSA regions across the country.**

**As the "Front Door," the Small Business Utilization Center should be
one of your first points of contact if you as an individual or a company
are interested in doing business with the Federal Government. Each
center is staffed with Counselors who can provide you with information
or assistance on any one of the following:**

1.  **Obtaining information about the FedBizOpps web site (most
    solicitations are posted on this web site) and information about
    other solicitations that may not be posted on FedBizOpps;**

2.  **Introducing a new item for the government to purchase;**

3.  **Learning about current bidding opportunities with GSA;**

4.  **Receiving bid abstracts to find out the past bidding history on
    upcoming solicitations. (Note, however, that all abstracts for
    negotiated procurements must be requested under the Freedom of
    Information Act);**

5.  **Logging on to the Small Business Administration's Pro-Net program
    and GSA's Home Page on public computers. Pro-Net is an invaluable
    means for small, small-disadvantaged, hubzone-small, women-owned
    small and veteran-owned businesses to publicize themselves to the
    large business community and contracting personnel; and**

6.  **Receiving general business counseling services.**

**For the address and phone number of the Small Business Utilization
Center closest to you, please see the listing of Small Business
Utilization Centers in the back of the directory.**

Through its three business lines, the Federal Supply Service (FSS), the
Federal Technology Service (FTS) and the Public Buildings Service (PBS),
the U.S. General Services Administration buys a myriad of items from
office supplies and paper products to information technology supplies
and services, to building, leasing, maintaining, repairing and securing
federal office buildings. The Small Business Utilization Center is not a
purchasing or contracting office, but Small Business Utilization Center
personnel can point you in the right direction if you are interested in
selling your product and/or service to Federal, State and City agencies.

**U.S. General Services Administration's**

**SmartPay**

GSA SmartPay is the Federal Government's new charge card for procuring
products and services needed in the performance of the Government's
business. The General Services Administration awarded contracts to six
vendors (Citibank, First National Bank of Chicago, Mellon Bank,
NationsBank and U.S. Bank) to provide Government employees with either a
VISA, Mastercard or American Express.

**The advantages to accepting GSA SmartPay are:**

-   More than 250,000 Government employees have a purchase card.

-   The purchase card may be mandated as the payment tool for purchases
    under the micropurchase threshold at some agencies.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Preferred merchant for Government business.

-   Simplifies order taking for merchants-no government order forms to
    process.

-   Payment is made electronically to the merchant within 72 hours.

-   Billing and collection costs are reduced.

-   Facilitates electronic orders.

**Accepting the GSA SmartPay Card:**

If your company accepts VISA, Mastercard or American Express, you can
accept GSA SmartPay cards today. Transactions are processed through your
existing merchant account. If you do not currently accept these cards,
contact a local bank or the GSA SmartPay contractors listed below to
establish a merchant account.

**Establishing a merchant account:**

Submit an application to your selected bank.

Cost to merchant:

Fees for transactions are paid directly by merchants to their bank. The
cost of accepting VISA or Mastercard is negotiated between you and the
selected bank. Cost is based on the volume of transactions processed and
the averaged size of your transactions. Merchants must purchase or lease
the necessary equipment from their bank or other suppliers. GSA SmartPay
contractors offer merchant services to merchants who do business with
the Government. GSA SmartPay contractors may offer more favorable terms
and conditions for both transaction fees and equipment.

**[WHAT IS PRO-*Ne*t?]{.underline}**

***http://pronet.sba.gov***

**PR0-Net** is the U.S. Small Business Administration's ***Procurement
Marketing and Access Network.*** It is an online, interactive,
electronic gateway of procurement information -- for and about small
businesses.

It is a ***search engine*** for contracting officers, a ***marketing
tool*** for small firms and a ***"link"*** to ***procurement
opportunities*** and important information.

# [A Search Engine]{.underline}

**PRO-*Net ***is an internet-based database of information on
disadvantaged, 8(a) and women owned businesses. The SBA projects it will
contain more than 200,000 firms by the end of fiscal year 1999.
**PRO-*Net ***is free to federal and state government agencies as well
as prime and other contractors seeking small business contractors,
subcontractors and/or partnership opportunities. **PRO-*Net ***is open
to all small firms seeking federal, state and private contracts.

Businesses profiled on the **PRO-*Net ***system can be searched by SIC
codes; key words; location; quality certifications; business type;
ownership race and gender; EDI capability, etc.

## Marketing Tool

A virtual one-stop procurement shop for government contracting,
***PRO-Net*** makes small business profiles available to federal, state
and local government contracting officers, as well as to private-sector
businesses looking for contractors, subcontractors, teaming arrangements
or partnerships.

The electronic profile of each registered small business includes the
identification of the business (including world-wide-web and e-mail
addresses, if available) organization and/or ownership, products and
services, and performance history. The profile also describes the firm's
Electronic Data Interchange capability. Profiles provide vendors an
opportunity to put a controlled "marketing spin" on their businesses.
Companies with "homepages" can link their web site to their **PRO-*Net
***profile, creating a very powerful marketing tool.

## A Link To Procurement Opportunities

As an electronic gateway, **PRO-*Net ***provides access and is linked to
the Commerce Business Daily (CBD), agency homepages and other sources of
procurement opportunities. The system is also linked to key sources of
information, assistance and training.

[U.S. Small Business Administration]{.underline}

[SUB-*Net* System]{.underline}

[www.sba.gov]{.underline}

[WHAT IS SUB-*Net?*]{.underline}

Prime contractors will use the U.S. Small Business Administration's
SUB-Net system to post subcontracting opportunities. These may or may
not be reserved for small businesses, and they may include either
solicitations or other notices -- for example, notices of sources sought
for teaming partners and subcontractors on future contracts. Small
businesses can review this web site to identify opportunities in their
areas of expertise. While the web site is designed primarily as a place
for large businesses to post solicitations and notices, it can also be
used by federal, state and local governments, non-profit organizations,
colleges and universities, and small businesses for the same purpose.

The new web site will shift the traditional marketing strategy from the
shotgun approach to one that is more focused and sophisticated. Instead
of marketing blindly to hundreds of prime contractors, with no certainty
that any given company has a need for their product or service, small
businesses can use their limited resources to identify concrete,
tangible opportunities and then bid on them.

[HOW TO USE SUB-*Net*]{.underline}

To search for a solicitation or a notice:

You can search for subcontracting opportunities in several ways. First,
if you are looking for opportunities in a particular industry, you can
search for all solicitations and Notices of Sources Sought by the North
American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for that
industry. From the main menu (go back one screen), simply click on
"Search for Solicitation," then click on "Search the database" and then
enter the five-digit NAICS code for your industry. This is the fastest
way for you to see if there is anything on the bulletin board that
interests you. If you don't know the NAICS code for your industry,
SUB-Net provides a hot-link to the NAICS code web site, so you can look
it up first.

If you would rather not search by NAICS code, you can search a number of
other ways such as by NAICS code (see next paragraph), generic
description, or solicitation number.

If you would rather not worry about the NAICS code, or if you want to
look at every opportunity on the bulletin board regardless of industry,
you can click on "View all solicitations." This will display everything
on the bulletin board for which the bid date has not yet expired.

When you find a solicitation or notice that appeals to you, simply print
out a hard copy (for your records) and contact the point-of-contact at
the company for a copy of the complete bid package. Everything posted on
SUB-Net will have the name, telephone number, fax number and e-mail
address of a person to contact for questions or additional information.

[TO POST A SOLICITATION OR A NOTICE]{.underline}:

From the main menu, click on "Post a Solicitation or a Notice." If this
is the first time you have used SUB-Net for this purpose, you will need
to register your firm in the system. The next screen will give you this
option. Simply fill out the required information and click on the
"Submit" button at the bottom of the screen. You may also post one (1)
solicitation or notice at the same time; however, since this is your
first use, SBA will need two (2) business days to process your request.
After that, you will be able to post solicitations and notices and see
them "go live" instantaneously.

To post a solicitation or a notice, go back to the main menu, click on
the menu selection by the same name, and follow the instructions. You
may find it easier to identify the NAICS code of the product or service
you are procuring before you begin and you can use the hot-link above to
do so. (Page up once or twice and look for "Go here to NAICS [code
listing]{.underline}.")

If you are successful in making an award, we would like you to return to
SUB-Net and give us the results (the awardee's name, the dollar amount,
the

business category and the number of responses to the solicitation). This
information is for SBA's own use and will not be made public without
your permission, except in the aggregate for statistical purposes.

If you need assistance, you may contact your local SBA representative.

#### [WHAT IS e-BUY?]{.underline} 

e-Buy is an online Request for Quotes (RFQ) tool, which allows Federal
buyers to obtain quotes and issue orders for products and services
offered through GSA\'s Multiple Award Schedules (Multiple Award
Schedules) program.

Using e-Buy, Federal buyers may prepare and post an online Request for
Quote (RFQ) for specific services and products for designated periods of
time.

Vendors are automatically listed under their awarded Special Item Number
(SIN) categories. Posted Request for Quotes are available for review by
all vendors awarded the SIN category. In addition, Federal buyers have
the option of sending an e-mail notice to some or all vendors under the
applicable SIN category. The e-mail feature allows buyers, based on
market research, to notify a specific vendor under the SIN category. The
posting of all Request for Quotes on a website for review combined with
the ability of Federal buyers to send e-mail notices to specific vendors
based on market research, enhances competition, transparency and
efficiency.

Vendors viewing the posted Request for Quotes may submit an offer under
their awarded SIN category.

Once the RFQ has closed, Federal buyers may then evaluate and accept the
quote (s) that represent the best value. Orders may be issued, through

GSA *Advantage!™* or their own internal system, to any vendor whose
quote was accepted.
