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 GSA’s Springboard Program.
If you are a company with less than 2 years of corporate experience, but think you are ready to plunge into the world of GSA- there is a way! When uploading your proposal documents into eOffer, you will be prompted with a question that states: “Do you have less than two years of Corporate Experience?” Go ahead and select “yes” and this will opt you into the Springboard program.
However, you must also provide demonstration of financial responsibility, which can be fulfilled through one of the following:
All of your other proposal documentation will remain consistent with the requirements listed in the solicitation for all MAS offers and this program can be applied for any large category within GSA.
As always if you have any questions of if you’d like direct support with your contract please feel free to reach out at [email protected] .
Thanks for listening!
