Welcome to GSA 101 brought to you by Elevate GSA: where we turn GOVSPEAK into a language YOU speak. My name is Hannah Struss and I have Collin Hartsell here with me and we are going to be talking about registering a new GSA contract.

If you have just been awarded a new contract- congratulations! You may be flooded with a long to do list of next steps, but there is one that should be at the very top of the list: registering your new contract. We will link the website in the show notes to get you to the right place at the Vendor Support Center.

Before we get into the meat and potatoes of this episode, make sure you take a moment to grab a Magic Mind shot out of your fridge and into your mouth. These shots contain everything you need to increase clarity and focus throughout your day: organic mushrooms adaptogens and nootropics, vitamin D, vitamin C, and so much more.

Enjoy long lasting energy with none of the side effects. Hop on over to Magic Mind.com/GSA20 to use our limited code that gets you up to 48% off your first subscription or 20% off one-time purchases with code GSA20 at checkout .

Okay let’s get back to registering your contract!

To do this you will need the following pieces of information:

In this process you will set a username, as well as the email address tied to this username. Once you have followed through the prompts an email will be sent with the VSC generated password for the contract. You can keep this password or go ahead and reset it.

** This password is the same password you will then use for the SIP application to get your terms and conditions catalog visible on GSA Elibrary and GSA Advantage as applicable. *
