Five-year GSA contract expands Raisbeck's footprint in government area
The GSA Schedule is significant in that it makes the company's products accessible through a simplified buying process to US state and federal government agencies.
Getting on the GSA schedule shows government buyers that Raisbeck Engineering and its products have been thoroughly vetted by the government.

US-based performance enhancement systems provider Raisbeck Engineering has been awarded a General Service Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract. This took effect on 30 September, 2022 and is valid for five years with three five-year option periods.

The GSA Schedule is significant in that it makes the company's products accessible through a simplified buying process to US state and federal government agencies, expanding the company's footprint in the federal government marketplace. To qualify for GSA approval, the company went through a rigorous 18 month application process. Contractors selling through the GSA contract are carefully vetted beforehand and must have a proven track record within its industry. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule also provides a competitive advantage in the government sector since terms and conditions including pricing and warranties are previously agreed upon.

“We are very excited to receive a GSA Contract Award,” says president Hal Chrisman. “Getting on the GSA schedule shows government buyers that Raisbeck Engineering and our products have been thoroughly vetted by the government. So any state or federal agency can, with confidence and ease, purchase Raisbeck's existing performance improvement modifications or engineering services to address new or emerging requirements.”

Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and continuously accounts for approximately $44 billion of US government spending. GSA provides a centralised delivery system of products with pre-determined terms and conditions such as pricing, delivery times and warranties, and serves to leverage its buying power to obtain the best value for taxpayers.
