Woodburn Press Receives GSA Schedule, Will Expand Sales To US School Systems

PITTSBURGH, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GSA Pittsburgh is pleased to announce that Woodburn Press has been awarded a GSA Schedule 76 contract and is now certified to provide goods and services to the Federal government. Acknowledging the growth in federal spending through the General Services Administration (GSA), Woodburn Press has placed their extensive catalog of educational resources on the government's electronic ordering system, GSA Advantage!®

"As a Woman Owned Small Business, this schedule opens up significantly more markets throughout the country," states John O'Brien, Vice President of Woodburn Press. He continues: "Being on the GSA schedule expands our reach beyond the federal government to numerous state and municipal governments and their corresponding educational boards as they can now take advantage of exceptional government pricing."

For almost two decades, Woodburn Press has been helping students succeed in school and be career and college ready.  Woodburn Press also provides several products to help schools increase parent involvement.  The company's founder, author Linda O'Brien, was a high school counselor for over 20 years. As a counselor, she wasn't able to find accurate, concise information for her students and parents, and so she began writing her own books. Today, Woodburn Press produces a wide selection of concise, informative, affordable booklets, pamphlets, planners, and posters.
