How long does the GSA Schedule process take?

Blackfyre's average time from engagement to contract award is 90 days. The industry average is 4–6 months. Speed comes from Pedro Rubio's insider knowledge of what GSA Contract Specialists want — clean, complete applications that don't require rounds of clarification.

What happens after my GSA contract is awarded?

Award is the beginning, not the end. Contractors must set up the GSA Advantage listing, respond to eBuy RFQs, file annual reports, and manage modifications. Blackfyre provides 6 months of post-award support and offers ongoing maintenance at $299/month.

Does my business need federal experience to apply for a GSA Schedule?

No federal experience is required. GSA accepts commercial, state/local, and non-profit past performance. Many of Blackfyre's 70+ clients had zero federal experience before getting approved.

Can I add more SINs after my GSA contract is awarded?

Yes. SINs, products, services, and pricing can be added through a contract modification at any time. Many clients expand their schedule in year one as they identify new federal market opportunities.

What is a SIN and how do I choose the right one?

A SIN (Special Item Number) is the product/service category within a GSA Schedule. Choosing the wrong SIN is the #1 reason applications get rejected or underperform. Blackfyre maps client capabilities to the highest-value, best-fit SINs.

What is the GSA Industrial Funding Fee (IFF)?

The Industrial Funding Fee is 0.75% of all sales under a GSA Schedule, remitted quarterly to GSA. It is built into pricing, not an out-of-pocket cost.
