mattparish,

According to the U.S. General Services Administration website:
"Workshop: How To Obtain a GSA Schedules Contract:
We conduct free workshops on the third Tuesday of every month to
inform individuals and businesses on how to obtain GSA Federal Supply
Schedule contracts. If you are interested in attending, please
register below for the next available workshop. These sessions do fill
up quickly."
http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/content/event_content.jsp?channelId=-12923&programId=12179&contentOID=118879&contentType=1001&cid=1

Unfortunately, these workshops are in Washington, DC. However, there
is an excellent summary of the process for getting approved as a GSA
Supplier on this page, which also includes an e-mail address and phone
number to contact if you have questions or need further information:

"Getting on Schedule 
GSA's Federal Supply Schedules, also known as Multiple Award Schedules
(MAS), are contracts that allow federal customers to acquire more than
4 million services and products directly from more than 8,600
commercial suppliers."

"MAS Helpdesk 
mashelpdesk@gsa.gov 
Phone: (703) 305-6566 
Fax: (703) 305-6594"

http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/content/offerings_content.jsp?contentOID=116434&contentType=1004&P=1&S=1

The GSA website has a function called "MyGSA", which you can use, once
you register on the website, to "bookmark" supply areas and other
pages relevant to your business.
http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/common/registernewuser.jsp

I strongly encourage you to explore the GSA site in detail to give you
a good knowledge background for becoming a GSA supplier. There is a
lot of helpful information here, and you can use the contact
information listed above to get specific answers to any questions you
might have for which you are unable to find answers on the website.

I just surfed to the first link listed in this answer, and I did NOT
see the "excellent summary". The page is actually quite brief.

pbarrett,

That's because the words "excellent summary" refer to the content of
the page referenced by the SECOND link in the Answer, from which I
have quoted a brief section:

"Getting on Schedule  
GSA's Federal Supply Schedules, also known as Multiple Award Schedules
(MAS), are contracts that allow federal customers to acquire more than
4 million services and products directly from more than 8,600
commercial suppliers."

"MAS Helpdesk
