What is the GSA?
The General Services Administration is a federal agency of the United States government, established in 1949 to help manage and support the basic functioning of the ever-growing tangle of federal agencies. The GSA supplies products and communications for U.S. government offices, provides transportation and housing to federal employees, and develops government wide cost-minimizing policies, among other management tasks. GSA secures the buildings, products, services, technology, and other workplace essentials federal agencies need. The GSA is the major supply arm of government which does most of the government’s buying.
