The 411 on Big Bags USA® and GSA Schedule 84

We have some big news here at Big Bags USA, and we are so excited to finally be able to share it with you! We are finally and officially signed on with GSA Schedule 84! This is good news for us, but GREAT news for you. If you have needed our products, this is just one more way you can get access to them, and we are so proud to reach this milestone. If you aren’t sure what GSA Schedule 84 is, here are a few things you need to know, as well as some details about purchasing through them.


What Is GSA Schedule 84?

GSA Schedule 84 is the government’s premier vehicle for purchases of solutions for law enforcement and security at state, local, and federal levels. These are several examples of the most prevalent offerings under Schedule 84:
  • Law Enforcement and Security Training & equipment
  • Wildland Firefighting and rescue equipment
  • Marine craft and related equipment
  • Medical Kits
  • Features alarm and signal systems
  • Special Purpose Clothing
  • Physical Access Control Systems
  • Facility management systems
  • Helicopter Equipment and Products for Search and Rescue


GSA Schedules, also known as Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) and Federal Supply Scheduled, are basically just long-term governmentwide contracts with commercial firms. This can provide federal, state, and local government buyers access to more than 11 million commercial supplies, products, and services at much better pricing. This is such a big deal for Big Bags USA, but even more so for you and your community! Anything we can do to make it easier to get Big Bags USA into your towns is worth it.


How Do I Get On Schedule?

You will have to start by working with GSA (U.S. General Services Administration). State and local government entities may use GSA Advantage!® and registering to obtain necessary approvals. Another option is to use eBuy to create an online Request for Quotation (RFQ) which can help you make the best—qualified purchase decisions.

Once you have started the process, the estimated time is three to four months to get a GSA Schedule. However, this largely depends on what you will be needing, and some items can take much longer.

How Does Big Bags USA Fit Into This?

Section 465 8 explains that Schedule 84 covers Flood Control Equipment Traditional and Alternative Approaches - Includes, but not limited to, all types of traditional sandbagging equipment, supplies and services and non-traditional emergency flood control equipment, supplies and services.
