Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI)

FSSI encourages cross-government collaboration and adoption of industry best practices. This allows the government to aggregate requirements, streamline processes and leverage its buying power. As a result, best value and repeatable processes are created that can be used in any acquisition environment to drive down the cost of commonly purchased commodities.

The primary goals of FSSI are:

Strategically source across federal agencies
Establish mechanisms to increase total cost savings, value, and socioeconomic participation
Collaborate with industry to develop optimal solutions
Share best practices
Create a strategic sourcing community of practice

Current FSSI Solutions:
- Wireless Telecommunications Expense Management Services
- Office Supplies
- Express and Ground Domestic Delivery Service
- Print Management
- SmartBUY
