Time for a Schedule 70 makeover?

Sales on the General Services Administration’s largest schedule contract, Schedule 70, were looking flat before this year, and fiscal 2008 figures aren’t showing any bounce.

Based on first-quarter sales figures, GSA expects relatively flat revenue in 2008, said Mary Powers-King, director of information technology schedules programs at GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service. Agencies bought $16.9 billion from the Schedule 70 IT contract in fiscal 2007, a drop of about $300 million compared with the previous year.

Although Schedule 70 sales remained flat, total schedules sales increased by more than $2 billion between fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005. Total schedules sales rose another $2 billion in 2006, then leveled off in 2007, according to GSA.
