The FBBS "My Federal Shopper" Explanation
"My Federal Shopper" is a website that offers federal buyers an alternative to shopping on the
GSA Advantage system. Anyone can browse "The Shopper," but Federal Buyers must register
before a PO can be created.
What do Federal Buyers receive?
As with the GSA Advantage system, Federal Buyers register for an account with "My Federal
Shopper" and shop on the system with their credit cards. However, unlike the GSA Advantage
system, with a couple clicks and for specific federal contracts more detailed data is accessible.
Federal Buyers will be able to quickly & easily view, print or download Authorized GSA
Schedule Contracts, in their entirety with Ts&Cs, or just the sections they are interested in.
As the number of participating federal contractors grows, Federal Buyers can quickly zero in on
the particular contractor's goods and services they are interested in without any hassle. Search
engines for the Shopper will assist in finding products and services from a wide array of federal
suppliers.
No other existing commercial system currently provides this federal activity. Think of a better
fedcenter.com, only more affordable and efficient.
When a federal procurement is initiated at "My Federal Shopper," a PO is created and
transmitted directly to the seller. The buyer will receive a confirmation copy for his records and
acknowledgement. It really is that simple!
We will make every effort to include and offer the federal contractors, products and services you
have asked for.
What do federal contractors receive?
At "My Federal Shopper", federal schedule contractors receive an extremely affordable web-
based publication of their awarded GSA schedule contract pricing in a user-friendly
environment. We post awarded Government schedule contracts offering federal buyers access to
entire text pricelist copy as well as the line items/products offered. FBBS will publish your
complete Authorized GSA Schedule contract, including Cover Page, TOC, Information for
Ordering Offices, and Terms and Conditions specific to each SIN offered, along with authorized
pricing pages. Your pricing pages can consist of awarded SINs of line items and/or products and
services, along with any web-linked "text files" for services and training.
FBBS will promote the Shopper to government procurement offices, Government Contract
Officers and Federal staffers.
