GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (GSA)



Statement of Regulatory and Deregulatory Priorities
 The General Services Administration (GSA) establishes agency 
acquisition rules and guidance through the General Services Acquisition 
Regulation (GSAR), which contains agency acquisition policies and 
practices, contract clauses, solicitation provisions, and forms that 
control the relationship between GSA and contractors and prospective 
contractors.
 GSA's fiscal year 2010 regulatory priority is to continue with the 
complete rewrite of the GSAR. GSA is rewriting the GSAR to maintain 
consistency with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and to 
implement streamlined and innovative acquisition procedures that 
contractors, offerors, and GSA contracting personnel can utilize when 
entering into and administering contractual relationships.
 GSA will clarify the GSAR to--
 Provide consistency with the FAR;
 Eliminate coverage which duplicates the FAR or creates 
            inconsistencies within the GSAR;
 Correct inappropriate references listed to indicate the basis 
            for the regulation;
 Rewrite sections which have become irrelevant because of 
            changes in technology or business processes, or which place 
            unnecessary administrative burdens on contractors and the 
            Government;
 Streamline or simplify the regulation;
 Roll up coverage from the services and regions/zones which 
            should be in the GSAR;
 Provide new and/or augmented coverage; and
 Delete unnecessary burdens on small businesses.
