How to Use This Schedule

GSA has established this Federal Supply Schedule to allow customers to expedite the procurement process by prequalifying contractors that provide professional engineering services. GSA has already reviewed and approved contractor qualifications, cost schedules, small and disadvantaged business subcontracting plans, and other contract requirements so that you don't have to. This streamlined system makes it faster and easier for you to select qualified contractors who best support your needs. You retain control of your project by dealing directly with the contractor, and are ensured long-term support by the five-year duration of FSS contracts.

Using the schedule for Professional Engineering Services, you can now access ERG in just a few steps.

Step 1.
Provide your Contracting Officer (CO) with your Statement of Work (SOW) and any special terms and conditions of delivery you need. Be sure to include a description of the work required, a schedule for delivery of the work, and a location for delivery and inspection of the work.

Step 2.
The CO will then issue your SOW to three contractors approved to provide engineering services.

Step 3.
You and the CO review the contractors' responses and rates to determine the best value of the three.

Step 4.
The CO issues a contract order to the selected contractor, using their federal supply schedule contract.

Online access to contract ordering information, terms and conditions, up-to-date pricing, and the option to create an electronic delivery order is available through GSA Advantage!™, a menu-driven database system. The Internet address for GSA Advantage!™ is http://www.gsadvantage.gsa.gov. For more information on ordering from Federal Supply Schedules, select the GSA Schedules button at http://www.gsa.gov.
