TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GSA Applications is pleased to announce that Luthin Associates, Inc. has been awarded a GSA Schedule 03FAC contract and is now certified to provide goods & services to the Federal government. Acknowledging the growth in federal spending through the General Services Administration (GSA), Luthin Associates has placed their energy consulting services on GSA Advantage!®, the government's electronic ordering system www.gsaadvantage.gov .

"This schedule will facilitate our expansion into federal government departments including possible work with the Department of Defense," stated Catherine Luthin, President of Luthin Associates, Inc.
