The General Services Administration (GSA) is a U.S. government agency that streamlines federal procurement by offering contracting options for agencies across the country. Established in 1949 under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, the GSA helps connect government buyers with commercial suppliers through pre-approved GSA Schedule contracts.
These contracts give federal agencies exclusive access to vetted products and services at competitive prices—eliminating the need for lengthy bidding processes. While the GSA contract ensures pricing and compliance, it does not provide guidance on product selection, installation, or space-specific needs. That’s where an experienced commercial flooring dealer comes in.
Why Work with a Flooring Dealer for GSA Projects?
Even under a GSA contract, flooring projects require thoughtful planning and execution. Considerations like floor preparation, moisture testing, furniture moving, and project coordination all factor into a successful installation. A knowledgeable dealer can recommend the right GSA-approved flooring for your space and guide you through each step—from material selection to final walk-through.
Advantages of the GSA Program:
- Access to the latest flooring innovations and technologies
- Simplified and accelerated procurement process
- “Best Value” determination to meet specific agency goals
- Helps meet small business subcontracting targets
- Reduced protest risk
- Direct relationship between agency and contractor
- Use of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for recurring orders
