In my 20+ years working in government contracting, helping clients, I often get this question from my SDVOSB referrals: Is it really worth it?

In general, a firm should expect to generate about $1 Million per year in federal contracts. But the real value of a GSA Schedule Contract goes beyond that. Federal buyers frequently use the GSA Schedule System to locate companies to invite to bid—especially for set-aside contracts that a firm might otherwise never learn about. This creates a durable advantage that consistently leads to higher visibility and growth.

The average SDVOSB firm reports about $3.5 Million per year in federal sales. In contrast, SDVOSB firms with a GSA Schedule Contract average $7.8 Million, more than twice the sales volume.

If your business is already committed to the federal space and you’ve invested the effort to align your processes with federal requirements, it makes sense to maximize your return through the GSA Schedule.

Below is a breakdown by industry, showing how GSA Schedule participation correlates with stronger federal sales performance.
