Our agency comprises the Federal Acquisition Service, the Public Buildings Service, 12 staff offices, and two independent offices.

The Administrator of General Services Administration oversees the entire agency, leading a staff of about 12,000 GSA employees nationwide, overseeing approximately 364 million square feet of real property, approximately $102 billion in annual contracts, and over 231,000 leased vehicles. Working with the GSA team in the central office and the regions, the administrator sets the priorities for the agency and ensures that GSA employees have what they need to help other federal agencies accomplish their missions.

FAS operates at the core of the GSA mission: Leverage the Federal Government’s buying power to acquire the best value for taxpayers and customers. To support GSA and accomplish our mission, FAS uses innovative techniques and leverages government-wide buying power, acquisition expertise, and electronic tools to successfully deliver new and existing services, products, and solutions. Additionally, FAS is undergoing a realignment to modernize and streamline the organization in a way that removes roadblocks, simplifies processes, and makes it easier for our customers and industry to work with GSA while simultaneously empowering employees. FAS’ new organizational model replaces its legacy regional structures with a centralized reporting model.
Six category offices comprise the business-generating components of FAS. These categories offer many services, products, and solutions and support a broad customer base.
FAS manages six main business areas:
FAS receives its funding primarily through the Acquisition Services Fund from reimbursable revenue generated by the above categories rather than appropriations received from Congress. A few FAS activities are funded by the Federal Citizen Services Fund which receives appropriations annually.
In FY 2023, FAS supplied approximately $102 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.

The PBS Commissioner leads a team of over 5,600 employees that perform asset management, procurement, design, construction, leasing, building management and disposition services on behalf of other Federal agencies.
As the landlord for the civilian Federal Government, PBS delivers and maintains safe, smart, and sustainable workspaces to enable Federal employees to best serve the American people. PBS’s portfolio consists of approximately 1,700 federally owned assets (190 million rentable square feet) and over 6,500 leased assets (170 million rentable square feet). PBS also presides over 500 historic properties in the portfolio.
PBS is funded primarily through the Federal Buildings Fund, with rent paid by occupant agencies. PBS constantly works to streamline operations, modernize and optimize the real estate portfolio, and create new workplace offerings to ensure that employees of more than 50 Federal agencies have high-quality work environments.
PBS is investing approximately $7 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act into Federal assets. These investments are enhancing the safety and security of our borders and making Federal buildings more sustainable, higher performing, and more cost-efficient through installing next generation technologies and low embodied carbon materials.
