GSA Schedule for Training and Education Vendors

Updated April 27, 2026·12 min read

GSA Schedule for Training and Education Vendors

Federal agencies spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on training and professional development through GSA Schedule contracts. From cybersecurity awareness training to leadership development programs, from compliance training to technical certification courses, the Schedule provides the contract vehicle through which training companies can access this demand without competing in separate procurements for each engagement.

Training SINs on the MAS

Training and education services are primarily covered under SIN 59100 (Training Services) and related sub-SINs for specific training categories. The SIN covers: instructor-led training (on-site and virtual), eLearning and LMS delivery, curriculum development, simulation-based training, and professional development courses. Some technology training may overlap with SIN 54151S (IT Professional Services) if the training is embedded in an IT implementation project. Review both SINs to determine the best fit for your specific training offerings.

Pricing Training Services on the Schedule

Training vendors typically price their Schedule offerings using a combination of: per-student pricing for standardized courses, day-rate pricing for instructor-led training, and fixed-price curriculum development packages. Labor-hour pricing for instructors (by experience level) is also common for agencies that want to structure training as a services contract rather than a product purchase. Ensure your pricing covers material costs, instructor time, LMS platform costs, and the 0.75% IFF for all training delivered under the Schedule.

Training TypeCommon Pricing Model
Instructor-led (group)Day rate per instructor; seat price per student
eLearning (off-shelf)Per-seat license; annual subscription
Custom curriculum developmentFixed price per deliverable; T&M labor hours
Certification prep coursesPer-student; boot camp day rates
