Federal Manager's Daily Report

OMB has designated the Treasury Department to be the quality service management office for core financial management services and GSA as the QSMO for HR transaction services including compensation management, work schedule and leave management services.

The actions were taken under the President’s Management Agenda’s approach to the long-running shared services management model that aims to centralize certain mission-support functions that are common across agencies and better leverage the government’s buying power.

“This strategy moves away from the current “one size fits all” model and creates long-term options for agencies based on their own maturity and readiness,” OMB’s announcement said. “It allows agencies to partner with QSMOs to incrementally implement a sharing model at their agency, which may include technology, services or both. It also aligns QSMOs with an agency’s mission to help create long term stability in the marketplace.”

“Each QSMO will operate as a government storefront/manager of a marketplace for a specific functional area and will serve in important capacities such as offering and managing a marketplace of solutions and services based on the government-wide standards,” it said.
