We spoke to a point of contact internal at GSA today to find out more, and here is what we know: Contracting Officers are ranked on a scale from 1-5 based on their performance. All lower performing CO's will be let go. They aim to hire 1 new CO for every 4 let go. They also intend to bring AI in, as a way to streamline modification reviews, and a real CO will oversee the AI's activity. We don't know when these changes will take place, but we do know this will likely mean slow downs in proposal reviews as well as modification reviews for a time.

CSP Caveats

As many of you know, when you obtain a GSA contract you are now bound to the Price Reduction Clause. This puts a lot of constraints around what pricing your company can charge to GSA and non-GSA clients alike. (Please refer to previous blog posts on the Price Reduction Clause) However, if there are specific contracts where the pricing is inflexible- perhaps in the case of multi year contracts that were put into place prior to the GSA contract acquisition, or in such cases where your company is the subcontractor to a prime wherein you cannot control pricing, then GSA should be made aware of this.

Federal Marketing Plan

If you are currently in the process of pulling together a GSA proposal, you will see that eOffer prompts you to describe your company’s federal marketing plan inside the Corporate Experience section. This may feel daunting at first, but GSA wants to see that you have a plan in place and are thinking about how you intend to secure sales once you are an established GSA vendor.
