Federal Technology Service

The Federal Technology Service (FTS)delivers best value and innovative 
solutions in information technology, network services, and professional 
services to support Government agency missions worldwide.
    FTS works with agency customers to understand their mission and 
requirements and to help them choose, acquire, implement, and manage the 
funding for the best solutions to meet those needs. FTS works closely 
with every major Federal Government agency--civilian and military--on a 
reimbursable fee-for-service basis. Services are available through FTS 
national programs and FTS organizations located in each of the 11 GSA 
regional offices. Services are offered in three major business lines.
    The FTS network services business line uses the Government's buying 
power to obtain telecommunications products and services including 
global voice, data, and video services, supporting both local (Regional 
Services Business Unit) and long-distance users (Long Distance Business 
Unit). Through its contracts, FTS network services offers comprehensive 
telecommunications at the lowest price available. Both business units 
assist customer agencies in defining requirements, identifying 
solutions, ordering services, and managing services, including billing 
operations.
    The FTS IT solutions business line provides acquisition, project 
management, and financial services to assist Federal agencies in 
identifying, acquiring, deploying, managing, and using technology 
solutions. It also provides information security services to help 
agencies protect their data and related information. FTS Client Support 
Centers (National and Regional IT Solutions) help client agencies 
identify and acquire solutions to meet their needs through GSA contracts 
and other governmentwide sources.
    The FTS professional services business line provides acquisition, 
project management, and financial services on a cost reimbursable basis 
to assist Federal agencies in acquiring a broad range of professional 
services through three specific GSA Multiple Awards Schedules. The 
schedules include Management Organization and Business Improvement, 
Logistics, and Professional Engineering Services.
    FTS manages and operates several governmentwide programs that 
provide important services to citizens and to the Government. These 
programs include the Blue Pages, which provides Government listings in 
telephone books throughout the country, Federal Relay Servicewhich makes 
TTY services available to the public to communicate with Government 
agencies, and e-Authentication, which supports emerging

[[Page 437]]

e-Government projects throughout Federal agencies.

For further information, contact the Federal Technology Service at a 
nearby GSA Regional Office, or phone 703-306-6000.

Federal Supply Service

The Federal Supply Servcie (FSS) provides goods and services for the 
Federal marketplace, providing customers with economical, efficient, and 
effective service delivery and significant savings in time and 
administrative costs. By taking advantage of the Government's aggregate 
buying power, FSS achieves significant savings for both the customer and 
the taxpayer. The FSS employs world-class business practices and carries 
out its mission through the following five business lines.
    The commercial acquisition business line offers Federal agencies 
millions of commercial products and an extensive range of technology, 
financial, environmental, management, and administrative services 
through the Multiple Awards Schedules program and governmentwide 
acquisition contracts. Agencies make best-value choices among 4 million 
products and services available from more than 9,000 commercial 
suppliers under contract to FSS.
    The supply program provides quick fulfillment of recurring customer 
needs for basic business and mission supplies by leveraging best 
practices in supply chain management programs. Fulfillment solutions for 
supplies include electronic and hard copy catalogs, multiple ordering 
channels, FSS management of billing and paying transactions, order 
administration, and customer service support. The supply program is 
fully complementary to the service and solutions offered through the 
Commercial Acquisition Multiple Award Schedule program and 
governmentwide acquisition contracts. The supply distribution system 
provides critical support to the Government's national defense, disaster 
relief and other strategic missions stocking emergency readiness items 
like shovels, batteries, helmets and sandbags.
    The vehicleacquisition and leasing services business line provides 
two distinct services. One service, GSA Automotive, manages the 
acquisition of vehicles for all Federal agencies through consolidated 
acquisitions and the Multiple Awards Schedules program. The other 
service is a leasing program, GSA Fleet, which manages a fleet of more 
than 188,000 vehicles, providing non-tactical vehicles needed by 
civilian and military customer agencies with a comprehensive leasing 
program. GSA Fleet handles all aspects of the management of these assets 
including vehicle acquisition, maintenance and repair, accident 
management, fuel expenses, resale of used vehicles, and a selection of 
alternative-fuel vehicles.
    The travel and transportation business line helps control the 
Government's direct and administrative costs for travel and 
transportation services. Travel services include negotiated airline 
contracts, travel agency, and travel charge card services. 
Transportation services include the shipment of parcels, freight and 
household goods. The business line also oversees the use of audit 
contractors to examine the Government's air passenger, freight and 
household goods transportation billings to identify and seek recovery of 
incorrect billings and overpayments for the Federal Government.
    And the personalproperty program provides for property sales through 
comprehensive cost-effective solutions. Property no longer needed by one 
Federal agency is entered into an electronic system for screening and 
use by other Federal agencies, thereby avoiding new procurements. 
Property with no further Federal use can be screened electronically and 
is offered at no cost to State and local governments and eligible 
nonprofit groups. Property whose value cannot be extended by reuse or 
donation is sold to the public, primarily through online auctions.

For more information, contact the Federal Supply Service, Washington, DC 
20406. Phone, 703-305-5600. Internet, www.fss.gsa.gov.
