Federal Acquisition Service
Sonny Hashmi
Commissioner
The Federal Acquisition Service helps federal agencies buy goods, services, and technology solutions. In addition, FAS helps state, tribal, and local governments in some circumstances.
The federal government’s buying power offers the best value for taxpayers and federal customers. Last year, FAS offered federal agencies more than 31 million different products and services needed to meet their missions for the American people.
FAS manages six main business areas:
- General supplies and services.
- Travel, transportation, and logistics.
- Information technology category.
- Assisted acquisition services.
- Professional services and human capital.
- Technology Transformation Services.
In fiscal year 2022, FAS supplied over $87.5 billion in IT products, services, and solutions; telecommunications services; assisted acquisition services; travel and transportation management solutions; motor vehicles and fleet services; and charge card services, and saved the federal government a total of $5.5 billion. FAS is approaching 227,000 leased vehicles in its fleet, has issued over six million charge cards, and provides personal property disposal services for the reuse of over $1 billion in surplus property annually.
Through its TTS and ITC portfolios, FAS worked to modernize technology across the government to protect against cyber threats and deliver a better digital experience for America. Programs such as the U.S. Digital Corps, a fellowship program for early career technologists, strengthened the government’s digital workforce and critical impact areas, including economic recovery, cybersecurity, and racial equity.
