Formaspace Technical Furniture Awarded GSA Schedule Contract
August 14, 2009 --Formaspace Technical Furniture, the industry leader in the design and manufacture of workbenches for technical, laboratory, and industrial applications, announced today that it has procured a new GSA Schedule Contract.
"We are excited to finalize the Formaspace Technical Furniture listing on the GSA Schedule," said Formaspace CEO Jeff Turk. "The GSA makes the ordering process as smooth and efficient as possible for government agencies. Now that Formaspace is listed on GSA Advantage, it will make it easier than ever for government and military customers to order Formaspace industrial workbench products."
The General Services Administration, or GSA, issues GSA Schedules to approved commercial vendors. Also referred to as Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules, these are pre-negotiated contracts meant to reduce the time and expense of acquisition by providing federal purchasers with a government approved source from which to purchase cost-effective, high-quality products. Products on Formaspace’s GSA schedule can be ordered directly from the GSA contract holder or through GSA Advantage!®, an online shopping and ordering system.
The bestowal of a GSA Schedule is contingent upon several criteria, including the company’s past performance, customer satisfaction, financial stability, and proven ability to deliver multiple large-scale projects simultaneously.
Formaspace is a certified small business for government and defense workbench purchase purposes.
