The General Services Administration has released
the organizational design plan for the reorganization of
the Federal Technology Service and Federal Supply Service
into the Federal Acquisition Service, drawing from a single
fund.
“I commend the GSA design teams for working diligently to
develop this plan and I’m confident that it will enhance
our ability to provide reliable, consistent and compliant
acquisition services that yield best value to federal
agencies and taxpayers,” said GSA administrator Stephen
A. Perry.
GSA released a general design and says it incorporated
input from agencies, contractors, Congress and others to
develop the detailed organizational design.
That consists of an FAS commissioner, and five national
program offices for customer accounts and research,
acquisition management, integrated technology services,
general supplies and services, and travel, motor vehicles
and card services, according to GSA.
It said six zonal offices would be located within the 11
GSA regions to offer local customer service delivery,
including direct, face-to-face customer service.
GSA said associates in the former FTS and FSS regional
and zonal offices would remain in place, and be organized
into six zones.
FAS staff carrying out local customer delivery are to
report to the assistant regional administrators in the six
FAS zones, through which they’d provide customers —
segregated by geographic area — with “services such as
IT-assisted acquisition, fleet service representatives and
personal property.”
