GSA to pare back supply schedules, grow strategic sourcing

The General Services Administration may consolidate its 31 Federal Supply Schedules into eight, a top agency official said Wednesday.

GSA has floated the idea to industry groups and customer agencies of reorganizing the supply schedules program to make it easier for government buyers to navigate, Jeff Koses, GSA’s director of acquisition operations, said at a conference of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
