Information Technology (IT) on the Government Schedule 70 is not a traditional government contract. Contractors selling specific products and services to customers at fair and reasonable prices are covered by GSA schedules. Customers use GSA Schedule 70 to purchase IT products since it reduces the time needed for the procurement process and is the highest-grossing schedule out of all the GSA schedules.
