DOGE GSA Procurement Center for Government Contracting

The General Services Administration celebrated its OneGov Strategy like most new government initiatives with all the pomp and circumstance of a press release and a blog post. What was missing, of course, is the actual strategy document itself. No link in the press release. No link in the blog post.

The General Services Administration has introduced a new strategy that aims to modernize how the federal government buys goods and services by approaching procurement as a shared enterprise. Under the OneGov Strategy’s initial phase, GSA said Tuesday standardized terms and pricing will be implemented to streamline agencies’ access to IT tools. The agency will also adopt a more direct engagement model to support original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs.

President Donald Trump’s “Eliminate Waste and Save Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement” executive order brings some old procurement practices back into fashion. Over the next 60 to 90 days, agencies, OMB and the GSA administrator have a lot of work to do to centralize procurement of common items back in GSA. To understand what this means for the procurement system, Federal News Network’s Terry Gerton spoke with Emily Murphy, former GSA administrator and current senior fellow at the George Mason University Baroni Center for Government Contracting on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

"Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has launched its OneGov Strategy, a bold initiative aimed at modernizing how the federal government purchases goods and services. In this first phase, agencies will gain easier access to IT tools with standardized terms and pricing. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) will benefit from a more direct and predictable engagement model while taxpayers will benefit from a smarter, more secure federal IT enterprise."

Stan Soloway, longtime acquisition observer, explains how making changes in government procurement happen requires learning from lessons of the past.

In support of the Presidential Executive Order, Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement, we [GSA] are consolidating domestic procurement for common goods and services. This effort will streamline governmentwide procurement and regulations, reducing duplication and enabling agencies to focus on their core missions.

This supplement corrects Class Deviation (CD) CD-2025-05. The initial CD inadvertently removed all of FAR clause 52.223-10 rather than replacing it with a revised version.

This guidance standardizes GSA practices for reporting terminations for convenience (T4Cs) in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). This AL does not address how to process terminations. Contracting officers should refer to the FAR and GSAR guidance and contact assigned general counsel as needed.

This memorandum approves a class deviation to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 22.8, Equal Employment Opportunity and associated provisions and clauses to stop the enforcement of FAR policies related to the now revoked Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity. Executive Order Executive Order (E.O.) 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, revoked E.O. 11246.
