What is the GSA?
The U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”) was established in 1949 to provide centralized procurement for the federal government, offering billions of dollars of products, services, and facilities that federal agencies need to best serve the American people.
GSA’s mission is to supply federal purchasers with cost-effective, high-quality products and services from commercial vendors that have been vetted and registered with the GSA.
GSA works to maximizes the effectiveness of taxpayer dollars by supporting more than $68 billion in procurement spend and effectively managing over 9,500 owned and leased properties across the United States and its territories.
GSA achieves cost savings and efficiencies through responsible management of federal real estate, smarter acquisitions, transformative use of technology, and leading best practices across the federal government.
As GSA delivers on its mission, it strives to make it easier for industry to do business with the federal government, while also promoting partnerships with small and innovative entrepreneurs and companies.
The GSA has four strategic goals for this upcoming fiscal year:
Savings – Save taxpayer money through better management of federal real estate.
GSA will deliver cost savings and value for taxpayers through smart asset management while also providing cutting-edge workplace solutions that help agencies fulfill their important missions.
Efficiency – Establish GSA as the premier provider of efficient and effective acquisition solutions across the federal government.
GSA will lead acquisition and procurement strategies that help agencies access inventive and effective commercial solutions, make it easier to do business with the federal government, and use its buying power to drive cost savings.
Innovation – Improve the way federal agencies buy, build, and use technology.
GSA will lead the charge to modernize the federal government’s approach to technology services. GSA will guide agencies through innovative and efficient technology deployment to meet their missions and fulfill the needs of Americans in a rapidly evolving and complex world.
Service – Design and deliver expanded shared services within GSA and across the federal government to improve performance and save taxpayer money.
GSA will transform administrative services in the federal government by leading the consolidation of common mission-support processes and services across the federal government. Implementing this best practice will make these services better, faster, and more affordable while allowing government agencies to dedicate more resources to their missions.
The GSA is actively seeking small businesses for representation in SBA set-aside categories.
