What Is GSA Advantage?
GSA Advantage is GSA's online catalog of Schedule products and services, where government buyers compare prices and place orders.
GSA Advantage in plain English
Every Schedule contract holder has its awarded items and prices listed there. Buyers with a government purchase card or an account can order straight from the catalog, often for small purchases.
Keeping your catalog current, with clear descriptions and prices, is part of selling on the Schedule.
