• The Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis and consistent with applicable law, further rationalize Government-wide indefinite delivery contract vehicles for information technology across agencies, including as part of identifying and eliminating contract duplication, redundancy, and other inefficiencies. 3.

to purchase services and goods from outside suppliers or contractors. These vehicles streamline the acquisition process, improving efficiency, enhancing competitiveness, and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations. GSA’s acquisition services currently provide the following: • Cost-effective, high-quality products and services from commercial vendors • Assist federal agencies in building and acquiring office space, products, and other workspace services • Oversee the preservation of historic federal properties. • Provide policies covering travel, property, and management practices • Provide tools, equipment, and non- tactical vehicles to the U.S. military • Assist state and local governments with law enforcement, firefighting, and rescue equipment • Disaster recovery products and services The designated Administrator must present a comprehensive plan, as outlined in item 4 above, by June 19, 2025, to implement this change throughout the executive branch to the extent possible.
Implementation Consolidation TimeLine The GSA must formulate plans to
facilitate contracting consolidations for common goods and services within the executive branch to the extent permitted by law and as excerpted from the EO as noted below: 1. Within 14 days of the date of this order, the Director of OMB shall issue a memorandum to agencies implementing step (2). 2. Within 30 days of the date of this order, pursuant to the authority in 40 U.S.C. 11302(e), the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall designate an Administrator to act as the executive agent for all Government-wide acquisition contracts for information technology. • The Administrator, in consultation with the Director of OMB, shall defer or decline the executive agent designation for Government-wide acquisition contracts for information technology when necessary to ensure continuity of service or as otherwise appropriate.
The Changing GSA The GSA has a complex mission,
providing centralized procurement for the federal government. It offers products, services, and facilities that federal agencies need to serve the public. Their mission will be expanded to streamline procurement segments across the entire federal government. This directive refers to delivery contract vehicles, and they are essentially specific methods used by government agencies
This plan will require considerable coordination among all Federal
departments to transfer common goods and services procurement to the GSA. This won’t happen overnight, and it is reasonable to expect that this transition will take time to implement fully without negatively disrupting agency operations.
