SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrator of GSA established the GAP 
FAC as a discretionary advisory committee under agency authority in 
accordance with the provisions of the FACA, as amended (5 U.S.C. app 
2).
    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 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.
