About GSA

GSA makes it possible for other federal agencies to save billions of tax dollars in their travel, rent and building maintenance, on everything they use from furniture to technology, and long-distance and local telecommunications costs. GSA acts as a catalyst for nearly $66 billion in federal spending --more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars. The agency also influences the management of federal assets valued at nearly $500 billion. These assets include more than 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings, an interagency fleet of 170,000 vehicles, technology programs and products ranging from laptop computers to systems that cost over $100 million, and an expert workforce of just over 13,000 associates.
