Quick Start Guide |
Step 1: Read and become familiar with schedule clause I-FSS-597 that requires participation in GSA Advantage. Additionally, see clause I-FSS-600, "Contract Price List" of your Multiple Award Schedule contract which addresses the submission of electronic catalogs. Vendor's electronic catalog file must be received no later than 6 months after award. Catalogs must be submitted electronically via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or via the Schedule Input Program (SIP) software. For your consideration, there are also a number of companies who will prepare and submit your catalog data electronically, however, there are costs associated with this service. Step 2: Register! All vendors must register with the GSA Vendor Support Center (VSC) online at https://vsc.gsa.gov or by calling toll free at 877-495-4849 (M-F 7:30-5:30 PM EST). If you use SIP it will prompt you for registration information. The VSC will provide you with a password that is required on all catalog submissions. This password is used to protect your data. VSC personnel can also provide assistance with your SIP catalog submission. All contracts must be registered with the VSC. Please note that a DUNS is required at registration. If you do not have a DUNS assigned for your company, go to www.dnb.com where you may obtain one without charge from Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. Step 3: Decide which method you will use to submit catalog information, EDI or SIP. If your organization is currently utilizing EDI for your business transactions and you wish to submit your catalog via EDI, please see "Instructions for Vendors Using EDI" below. If you choose to use SIP instead of EDI, please see Instructions for Vendors Using SIP. Step 4: Submit and update your catalog. You may submit your catalog including updates and changes 24/7. Note that the data you submit (such as part numbers, description, prices, etc.) will be seen by your customers. The completeness and accuracy of the data submitted is your responsibility. Please ensure that your products and services are adequately described and remain current. |
