You may be aware that it is very difficult and time consuming to be awarded a GSA Contract. In order to be awarded, we must subject our selves to periodic audits, show the government our best pricing to our most favored commercial clients, and then offer the government even deeper discounts so that effectively the government receives our most favored pricing. Further, throughout the course of the contract, our performance is constantly evaluated. Contractors with poor ratings can lose their contracts.

State Term Schedule pricing is approved through the State of Ohio as an extension of our GSA Contract.

As a governmental buyer, there are many advantages to doing business with Echo 24 on a GSA Contract or State Term schedule. It saves you time and expense in having to develop an RFP, create bid announcements, conduct pre-bid meetings, and then evaluate multiple bids. It also protects you from exposure to unscrupulous contractors who "low-ball" the project with every intention of exploiting mistakes in the design so that they can make up for their lack of profits on change-orders. It further protects you from the difficult task of disqualifying undesirable contractors and from being forced to accept inferior product or workmanship. Put simply, the GSA Contract and State Term Schedule affords you the ability to purchase goods and services through an approved vendor in lieu of going through the hassles and pitfalls of the public bidding process.
