Term
eBuy
GSA's online system where agencies post requests for quotes that only current Schedule holders can see and answer.
eBuy is where GSA Schedule buying actually happens day to day: an agency posts a request for quote restricted to holders of a specific SIN, and only those contractors can see it and respond. You cannot browse into it without a Schedule contract behind you; it is not a general opportunity search tool the way SAM.gov is. Once you hold a Schedule contract, watching eBuy for requests under your SINs is a routine part of using the vehicle, not an optional extra.
In a sentence
"This RFQ was posted to eBuy and is open only to contractors holding an active Schedule contract under the listed SIN." If you are not already a Schedule holder in that category, this particular opportunity is not reachable, no workaround.
