The Bryan System^SM: Why Comply?

Having a GSA Schedule is about more than getting a contract number. It is about complying with the many regulations and requirements of the program. Many well-intentioned companies have not understood how to comply with stringent GSA requirements and paid a high price for their inexperience:

When you hire Fedlinx as your GSA Business Advisor, you make two smart choices for your company. First, you hire a group of GSA experts who will guide you through every step of the process, from solicitation to award to compliance. Second, you make a decision to integrate compliance into every aspect of your GSA contract, so risk is reduced and profits are protected.

The organizational support system necessary to obtain a GSA Schedule contract and comply with the many contractual requirements for a Schedule are complicated. Thus, a dedicated and experienced GSA team is essential to the success of any GSA Schedule program. Fedlinx's personnel have industry experience in all facets of the GSA Schedule process. Our team of compliance experts is unparalleled in the industry and have the following qualifications:

• Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM): A CFCM attains this designation only after passing a stringent examination administered by the National Contract Management Association. A person who achieves this designation must have a broad fund of knowledge related to government contracting with specific understanding and recall of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). Because the GSA program incorporates many of the FAR clauses, having an expert available who understands the meaning and application of these regulations is invaluable.
• Former GSA Contracts Manager: Having a person on staff who has actually managed the day-to-day operation of a GSA Schedule is the best practical experience one can get. Being able to access such practical GSA Schedule knowledge is invaluable to a client.
• Attorney: There are many legal aspects to obtaining and managing a GSA Schedule. Having access to an attorney who understands the rules and regulations applicable to the GSA program enhances a client's ability to comply.
• Organizational Design Expert: A GSA program does not operate in a vacuum. Such a program must be aligned with and complement an organization's commercial sales practices. An organizational design consultant understands how the pieces of an organization's GSA program and commercial program should align with each other to maximize profit and minimize non-compliance.
• Professional Trainer: Having a professional trainer on staff ensures that compliance training requirements are met and that training program outcomes are maximized.

In addition to having a dedicated team of experts to address all of your company's compliance needs, we have designed our own, unique compliance program - The Bryan System^SM - designed to minimize risk and provide maximum protection to your GSA profits.

Any GSA consultant who does not make a commitment to ensuring your company's compliance with GSA program rules and requirements is only doing half the job. Let us stand by your company from start to finish. Fedlinx - your partner for success.
