GSA e-Buy

e-Buy, an on-line request for quote tool within GSA Advantage! streamlines the buying process with point-and-click functionality by allowing RFQs and quotes to be exchanged electronically between government buyers and Schedule contractors - saving time & money.

e-Buy, allows government buyers to use the Internet to obtain quotes which will result in a best value purchase decision. e-Buy gives Schedule contractors more opportunities to offer quotes to agencies thought to be marginal opportunities.

Buyers prepare and post a Schedule/Special Item Number (SIN) RFQ for specific services and products for a designated period of time. The category assignment determines which sellers may receive the e-mail notice to quote.

Buyers may notify all sellers listed under a particular SIN category or they may choose to notify a lesser number of sellers. Sellers not notified may still submit a quote for an RFQ placed under their awarded SIN. Check the e-Buy site frequently for RFQ opportunities since e-mail notification is not guaranteed.

Only those contractors who have submitted their catalogs for inclusion in GSA Advantage! will have an opportunity to participate in e-Buy and receive requests for quotes.
