FBBS.FediVAS International: Our Approach

Why FBBS? - Peace of Mind.

We offer pro-active, cradle-to-grave contract management lifecycle services for GSA and Veteran’s Administration (VA) Multiple Award Schedule Contractors. Our clients sell everything from software to waste management services. If you want peace of mind with regard to your GSA schedule, you came to the right place. Our aim is to exceed your expectations, so you can concentrate on sales and marketing.

In my opinion, we are the best one-stop GSA/VA schedule contract management service available. I also believe a small subset of our competitors do a good job with parts of the process, but most fall short in one area or another. If there is an area we fall short in, that would be in our persistence and unwillingness to put up with countless GSA delays, excuses, poor performance, etc.

GSA Reform

We created a “Reform GSA” web-area for the purposes of helping GSA fix itself. We hope to provide GSA with contractor feedback in an effort to communicate with GSA. We actually do care about the federal procurement process.

Sometimes, we are forced to escalate contract issues beyond your immediate CO/CS to achieve your goals. One area where we draw a bit of GSA’s ire is in trying to hold GSA accountable. They don’t like that. We have been doing this since 1989.

For more on GSA Problems, see the “Reform GSA” area of this site.

NEW OFFER Preparation

The most important task we can handle for you depends on your needs. If preparing a NEW OFFER to GSA is our task: we prepare, submit, negotiate, manage and administer the process through to award and beyond. Our most important task is obtaining your contract award as quickly as possible and at the best price points we can negotiate for you.

Contract Management

If we are managing your contract after award, our most important task is to make sure your contract is maintained and managed properly by keeping it current and up-to-date. We handle contracts of all sizes, and specialize in Large Account Resellers.

We have developed specialty software to aid us in the process of comparing pricing from newly released vendor pricing to current and awarded "on GSA Advantage" pricing. For easy reference, see our client list.

We Care

We care about our clients and their needs. We care about the work we do. We really want to make GSA a better organization. We do our best for you so you will stay with us and tell others about us. Service is our business, and we understand that. We have a high need for achievement and want to do a good job. Usually, we respond to requests for assistance within 24 hours. Conversely, if your payments are late, our availability can drop significantly.

We Understand

We understand your GSA contract obligations and the ramifications of non-compliance. To that end, we guarantee our performance while we sometimes have to push GSA to do their part. We understand the GSA schedules program and have NEW OFFER and contract management experience with schedules: 70, 84, 73, 75, 56, 36, 899, 874, 871, 66 II N, 65 II A, 520, 621 I, 873, 69, 599, Consolidated Schedules and more.
