General Services Administration - Organization

Organization

GSA consists of two major services: the Public Buildings Service (PBS) and the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS). In addition to the two major services, the agency also includes twelve staff offices and the independent Office of the Inspector General and Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. The Administrator of General Services is the chief executive of the agency. Daniel Tangherlini was named as acting administrator on April 2, 2012.

GSA reorganized in 2005 to merge the Federal Supply Service (FSS) and Federal Technology Service (FTS) business lines into the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).

The National Archives and Records Administration was part of GSA until it was made an independent agency in 1985. The Federal Protective Service was also part of GSA until it was moved to the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.
