Which is Better for Your Business – 8(a) or the GSA Schedule?

Event Navigation

If your company has been in business for at least two years and is considering pursuing work in the Federal Government, come learn the benefits of two of the most popular Federal contracting vehicles – the 8(a) Program and the General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule.  Our two-hour session will explore the pros and cons of each. We will compare the differences and similarities between the 8(a) Program’s and the GSA Schedule’s eligibility criteria, application process, contracting/procurement procedures and regulations, and maintenance requirements. Our objective is to help you determine “if” and “when” your company should apply for the 8(a) Program and/or the GSA Schedule, as well as dispel popular myths associated with each.

Presenters for this program will be Maria Asuelimen of AMA Consulting LLC and Mishawn Cole Turner of The M&C Group.

Free parking is available in the lot marked “Retail Parking”, with the entrance on Pendleton Street.
