As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions includes leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services, and providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen engagement.
