U.S. General Services Administration
President Trump’s 2021 Budget Request includes Real Property Investments in Oklahoma
New Construction or Acquisition Proposed for the FBI in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma, OK - U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Emily Murphy announced key investments that are a part of the fiscal year (FY) 2021 President’s Budget Request. The proposed $21.3 billion gross budget ($868 million net budget) for GSA reflects the administration’s commitment to strategic investments in our nation’s real property management, modernizing the government’s information technology services, simplifying government procurement, and expanding the shared services delivered throughout government.
“The continued investment into GSA’s portfolio provides opportunities for savings both for our agency partners and the American people,“ said Administrator Murphy. “Looking forward to FY 2021, GSA will be making strategic capital investments that lead to a reduction in costly leased space, streamlining and standardizing the federal payroll systems through NewPay, and moving agencies from antiquated legacy systems to more secure, efficient, and modern platforms.”
Of the $10.4 billion GSA requested for the Federal Buildings Fund to maintain and operate the its real estate portfolio, $762 million is marked for new construction and the acquisition of facilities to support the critically important missions or agencies. The following project is included in that category:
Oklahoma City, Federal Bureau of Investigation……………………………. $85,931,000
GSA proposes to provide, either through acquisition of an existing building or construction, a new field office for the Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Oklahoma City, OK. The federally owned facility will provide continued housing for the FBI to accomplish its mission and provide significant long term savings to the American taxpayer. The proposed acquisition or construction will reduce the Government’s rental payment to the private sector by approximately $3,000,000 annually.
The requested $85,931,000 includes site, design, construction, and management and inspection services.
The proposed FY 2021 budget request also includes investments in real property infrastructure and management; support for the government’s development of innovative technology; and expansion of shared services.
