GSA Contractor Team Arrangement
One of the major benefits of the GSA program is the ability to “team” with another GSA Contract holder.
Under a Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA), two or more GSA Schedule contractors work together to meet ordering activity needs. By complementing each other’s capabilities, the team offers a total solution to the ordering activity’s requirement, providing a “win-win” situation for all parties.
By completing a CTA, both the vendor and customer benefit. The customer can purchase the total solution rather than making separate buys for each part of a requirement, as well as satisfy socio-economic procurement goals. On the other side, the vendors benefit from being able to compete for orders for which they wouldn’t otherwise qualify.
Unlike a Prime Contractor / Sub Contractor arrangement, both vendors must have the appropriate GSA Schedules. Both parties can interact with the government; and consequently, the responsibility of the project is shared among the two vendors.
While this may seem like a risk, creating CTA’s with reputable vendors who represent complimentary products can be a “game-changer” when it comes to GSA sales. With our extensive line of GSA products; including in-plant offices, guard stations, structural steel mezzanines, and towers, Panel Built offers a great opportunity to increase your GSA market share. Visit Panel Built GSA Page or GSA Teaming Page for more information, or call Ramona Walker to discuss “teaming” opportunities.

Thanks, John. We will put your information into our system and will contact you if we have any opportunities to work with you. If you want to do the same, we would be glad to team with you to provide modular offices, guard booths, mezzanines, etc.

Hi Conrad,
Always good to see GSA and Government business sector get discussed through Social Media.
We’re a well established material handling distributor with great pride that we’re GSA experts providing design, product and installation. Teaming is sometimes a necessity and more and more we’re teaming with manufacturers, other distributors and reps with similar interests as ours including superior customer service.
Warehouse One is an 8(m) women-owned small business located in Kansas City, Missouri, with a GSA Schedule, specializing in design, supply and installation of both new and refurbished (go green!) material handling and warehouse systems.

Do you have any other information about this subject? Where would I begin to do research on how the Government can use this method and under what circumstances?
