Notice of Establishment of a Federal Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP), General Services 
Administration (GSA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is announcing 
the establishment of the GSA Acquisition Policy Federal Advisory 
Committee (hereinafter ``the Committee'' or ``the GAP FAC'') in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA).

DATES: June 21, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Boris Arratia, OGP, 703-795-0816, or 
Stephanie Hardison, OGP, 202-258-6823, or email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrator of GSA established the GSA 
Acquisition Policy Federal Advisory Committee (GAP FAC) as a 
discretionary advisory committee under agency authority in accordance 
with the provisions of FACA (5 U.S.C. App 2). GSA has determined that 
the establishment of GAP FAC is necessary and in the public interest.
    As America's buyer, GSA is uniquely positioned to enable a modern, 
accessible, and streamlined acquisition ecosystem and a robust 
marketplace connecting buyers to the suppliers and businesses that meet 
their mission needs. The GAP FAC will assist GSA in this endeavor 
through expert advice on a broad range of innovative solutions to 
acquisition policy, workforce and industry partnership challenges.
    The GAP FAC will serve as an advisory body to GSA's Administrator 
on how GSA can use its acquisition tools and authorities to target the 
highest priority Federal acquisition challenges. The GAP FAC will 
advise GSA's Administrator on emerging acquisition issues, challenges, 
and opportunities to support its role as America's buyer. The initial 
focus for the GAP FAC will be on driving regulatory, policy, and 
process changes required to embed climate and sustainability 
considerations in Federal acquisition. This includes examining and 
recommending steps GSA can take to support its workforce and industry 
partners in ensuring climate and sustainability issues are fully 
considered in the acquisition process. In accordance with FACA, the 
charter for the Committee will be filed with the appropriate entities 
no earlier than 15 calendar days following the date of publication of 
this notice.

Krystal Brumfield,
Associate Administrator, Office of Government-wide Policy, General 
Services Administration.
