What Is the Difference Between G-Commerce and GSA Schedule?

G-Commerce is an intelligent e-commerce platform that is part of the GSA Commercial Platforms Program. It features compliant small businesses, same-day delivery, socio-economic tracking, and a 24/7 Procurement Concierge, catering to IT, industrial, and general equipment needs.

GSA Schedule, part of the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts, is a long-established procurement program that provides federal agencies access to millions of products and services from GSA-approved vendors, ensuring compliance and competitive pricing.

Key Differences

• Platform:
  • G-Commerce: Modern e-commerce platform within the GSA Commercial Platforms Program.
  • GSA Schedule: Traditional procurement program using GSA-approved vendors.

• Convenience:
• G-Commerce: Offers the convenience of an e-commerce experience, with easy online browsing and purchasing.
• GSA Schedule: Lacks the convenience of e-commerce; users must piggyback on current contracts and may need to call, email, or visit vendor websites to see product offerings.

• Vendor Focus:
  • G-Commerce: Emphasizes compliant small businesses and offers socio-economic tracking.
  • GSA Schedule: Includes a broader range of vendors and products across various categories.
