As an integral part of GSA, the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) possesses unrivaled capability to deliver comprehensive products and services across government at the best value possible.

The Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs: prepares and coordinates GSA’s annual legislative program; communicates GSA's legislative program to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Congress, and other interested parties; works closely with OMB in the coordination and clearance of all proposed legislation impacting GSA and its programs; prepares comments and makes recommendations on all bills submitted by GSA to the President for final action; and initiates, coordinates, and presents briefings to members of Congress and their staff on GSA programs and initiatives. 1995 http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/gsa/ep/contentView.do?contentType=GSA_OVERVIEW&contentId=9937 gsa-ogp In December 1995, GSA created the Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) to consolidate its policy functions into a single organization. OGP's policymaking authority covers the areas of personal and real property, travel and transportation, information technology, regulatory information and use of federal advisory committees. OGP's strategic direction is to ensure that governmentwide policies encourage agencies to develop and utilize the best, most cost effective management practices for the conduct of their specific programs.
