FY 2007 BUDGET SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS
INTRODUCTION
Mission Statement
The General Services Administration (GSA) was
established by the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949 when Congress mandated the
consolidation of the Federal Government’s real property
and administrative services. For more than half a
century, GSA has carried out its mission to acquire goods
and provide services and facilities to support the needs of
other Federal agencies.
GSA provides policy leadership and expert solutions in
services, space and products to enable Federal
employees to accomplish their missions. We believe that
no other organization in the public or private sector can
bring to bear as much experience, knowledge, and range
of capability as GSA in ensuring high performance in
Federal work environments. Due to its procurement
expertise and experience, GSA is uniquely qualified to
provide Federal agencies with the products and services
needed to accomplish their missions and improve their
performance.
GSA helps Federal agencies better serve the
public by offering, at best value, superior
workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services,
and management policies.
To accomplish our mission GSA has adopted a set of
values and goals to serve as our guide towards achieving
our mission.

General Services Administration
FY 2007 BUDGET SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS
PERFORMANCE BUDGET
GSA’s Fiscal Year 2007 Performance Budget was
developed through our Performance Management
Process for strategic planning, budgeting and program
evaluation. Through this process, we can define our
strategic direction, as well as identify the specific
strategies, actions, and funding requirements necessary
to achieve the strategic direction. Through the process,
we also set performance goals and targets to measure
our success in achieving our strategic direction. This
cyclical process allows for collaborative crosscutting
decision-making among senior leadership. GSA’s
performance goals emphasize improving customer
service, improving product value and delivery,
constraining costs, leveraging technology, and
implementing responsible asset management.
This request contains the critical resources GSA needs to
fulfill its primary mission of serving Federal customers.
The long-term outcome goals, performance measures
and targets, and related resource requests reflect GSA’s
continuing efforts to better fulfill its mission of helping
Federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at
best value, superior workplaces, expert solutions,
acquisition services and management policies.
While Federal agencies comprise the majority of GSA’s
customers, our client base has grown to state and local
governments, and international partners. The thousands
of vendors with whom we exchange information and do
business are critical to accomplishing our mission. In
addition, the Office of Citizen Services and
Communications supports a citizen-centric Federal
Government by providing public access to Government
information and services through multiple channels.
PROGRAM ASSESSMENT RATING TOOL (PART)
GSA’s Fiscal Year 2007 Performance Budget addresses
the various programmatic directions prescribed through
PART performance evaluations. Since 2002, GSA and
the Office of Management and Budget have conducted
fourteen program performance assessments using the
PART process.
The major findings of the PART reviews were that these
programs needed meaningful long-term outcome goals
which can be accurately measured. Since the initial
assessments, GSA has made great strides in identifying
and establishing meaningful long-term goals for its major
programs. By the end of the 2005 PART cycle, eight
programs have achieved successful evaluations.
Due to the improvement in the number of programs
successfully evaluated, GSA was able to achieve
“Yellow” in status on the Budget and Performance
Integration (BPI) initiative of the President’ Management
Agenda. Continued improvement will allow GSA to
achieve a status of “Green” for this initiative on the BPI
scorecard in fiscal year 2006. Additional information on
the PART reviews may be found in the Federal Buildings
Fund (FBF), Acquisition Services Fund (ASF),
Governmentwide Policy and Chief Acquisition Officer,
and Operating Expenses justification packages.

General Services Administration
FY 2007 BUDGET SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS
Budgetary resources (obligations) by fund source are as
follows:
FUNDING TOTALS AND SOURCES
Measured in obligations, GSA’s fiscal year 2007 request
totals approximately $22.4 billion for programs funded
under our agency’s accounts. Most funds become
available to GSA from customers through
reimbursements to revolving funds for purchase of goods
and services, or as Rent paid for space in GSA-owned
and leased buildings.
We are requesting appropriations of $204.8 million for
GSA direct funded activities, about 1% of total funding.
In addition, we are requesting an appropriation of
$245 million for the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF).
The remaining 98% of GSA funding is from customer
requested work that is funded under reimbursements to
revolving funds for the purchase of goods and services,
or as Rent paid to the FBF for space in GSA-owned and
leased buildings.

General Services Administration
FY 2007 BUDGET SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS
BUDGET AND PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
A major focus of the Fiscal Year 2007 Performance
Budget is “Acquisition Excellence”. This is defined as
implementing a streamlined procurement process that
delivers the highest quality product, on schedule, at the
best value, when the customer needs it, while adhering to
relevant laws and regulations. Acquisition Excellence is
the foundation of GSA’s overall effort to significantly
improve service delivery and GSA’s effectiveness in
providing best value to Federal agencies.
A key factor in achieving “Acquisition Excellence” hinges
on implementation of the Federal Acquisition Service
(FAS) reorganization in fiscal year 2006. FAS will
enhance GSA’s capability to meet the Federal customer’s
requirements for timely delivery of quality goods and
services while at the same time improving internal
efficiencies, streamline processes and increase agency
savings. Continuing in fiscal year 2007 and beyond, the
new FAS will help agencies participate in governmentwide efforts to improve administrative efficiencies by
identifying procurements that support strategic sourcing
and developing IT systems that support the Federal
Enterprise Architecture. The FAS vision is to become the
premier source of contracting, technology and project
management expertise within the Federal government.
The proposed Acquisition Services Fund (ASF) merges
the programs and activities currently performed under
two separate revolving funds, the General Supply Fund
and the Information Technology Fund, to finance the
major activities of the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).
The FAS was formed through the consolidation of the
Federal Supply Service and the Federal Technology
Service. The FAS is organized around three business
portfolios that deliver total solutions to customer
agencies. These portfolios are Integrated Technology
Services (ITS), the General Supplies and Services
(GSS), and the Travel, Motor Vehicle and Card Services
(TMVCS). The result of the restructuring will yield
significant organizational efficiencies, and increase
agency savings. The full benefits cannot be realized
without the merger of the Information Technology and
General Supply Fund.
In addition, GSA is proposing a general provision that
would amend existing law to permit the Administrator,
after consulting with the Office of Management and
Budget, to retain and transfer surplus funds generated by
the operations of the Acquisition Services Fund to the
Electronic Government Fund in an amount not to exceed
$40 million in any given fiscal year. These funds would
be used for government-wide E-Gov projects for
purposes authorized under Section 3604 of Title 44.
Funding initiatives for the Agency continue to focus on
real property capital investments. The fiscal year 2007
budget request for New Obligational Authority (NOA) of
$8.05 billion includes authority to use resources within
the Federal Buildings Fund for construction, repairs and
alterations, installment acquisition payments, rental of
space, and building operations. In addition, a direct
appropriation of approximately $245 million is requested
as part of a $1,556.3 million capital program.
Summary 5

FY 2007 BUDGET SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS
Employment
The budget supports 11,991 FTE in fiscal year 2007,
resulting in a net decrease of 258 FTE from fiscal year
2006 projected levels. The planned decrease is the
result of savings due to the consolidation of the FAS (204
FTE), and competitive sourcing (56 FTE). In addition, an
increase of 2 FTE are required for increased activity of
the Federal Acquisition Institute. The following chart
shows GSA’s FTE employment levels from fiscal year
1997projected through fiscal year 2007.

GOVERNMENTWIDE POLICY & CHIEF ACQUISITION OFFICER
INTRODUCTION
The net increase of $282 thousand consists of: (1) a $782 thousand
increase to provide for a Federal Bridge Certification Authority backup site; and (2) an offsetting $500 thousand decrease from the
budget of the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI). The decrease in
the FAI appropriation will be offset by funding received from the
Acquisition Workforce Training Fund (AWTF).
The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949
authorizes GSA to provide for a Government-wide system for the
procurement and supply of property and management services and
prescribe guidelines for the acquisition, use and disposal of such
property and services. In December 1995, GSA created the Office
of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) to carry out GSA’s policy functions
assigned by Congress, separate from the agency’s business
operations that procure and supply products and services. OGP’s
policymaking authority and policy support cover the areas of
electronic Government and information technology, real property,
personal property, travel and transportation, regulatory information
and use of Federal advisory committees. In 2003, the Services
Acquisition Reform Act (SARA) (Title XIV, Pub L. 108-136)
established the requirement for the creation of a Chief Acquisition
Officer in each executive agency. OGP’s Office of Acquisition Policy
transitioned to the Office of Chief Acquisition Officer (OCAO) on
June 15, 2004. All functions previously performed by the Office of
Acquisition Policy are now under the new OCAO, along with GSA
managed Government-wide acquisition IT systems.
Reimbursable Program
Governmentwide Policy provides reimbursable services to other
Federal agencies in the amount of $5,000 thousand, comprised of:
(1) $4,000 thousand for the Office of Governmentwide Policy; and
(2) $1,000 thousand for the Office of the Chief Acquisition Officer
that will be provided from the AWTF.
Transfers for Management Councils
The head of each Executive department and agency is authorized to
transfer to the Governmentwide Policy account, funds to support
Government-wide financial, information technology (IT),
procurement, and other management innovations, initiatives, and
activities. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) determines the amount to be contributed by each agency.
Also, OMB in consultation with the relevant interagency groups
(including the Chief Financial Officers Council for financial
management initiatives, the Chief Information Officers Council for IT
initiatives, the Chief Human Capital Officers Council for human
capital initiatives, and the Chief Acquisition Council for procurement
initiatives) determines the appropriate use of these funds. The total
funds transferred shall not exceed $17,000 thousand. Such
transfers may only be made 15 days following notification to the
Committees on Appropriations by the Director of OMB.
EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES
The Governmentwide Policy & Chief Acquisition Officer account
funds (1) the Office of Governmentwide Policy, and (2) the
Government-wide acquisition policy functions of Office of the Chief
Acquisition Officer.
Direct Program
The fiscal year 2007, Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) and
Office of the Chief Acquisition Officer (OCAO) combined budget
request of $52,550 thousand and 159 FTE reflects a net increase of
$282 thousand.

Authority; and (2) an offsetting $500 thousand reduction in the Federal Acquisition Institute’s (FAI) appropriated budget. The Acquisition
Workforce Training Fund (AWTF) will provide additional funding support, as well as funding for two additional FAI FTE that will help manage

Strategic Direction
Strategic Assessment
OGP’s direction for the next several years will be the continuing
drive to move Federal management towards enterprise level
decision-making rather than at individual program level. This will
help the Government align its business processes with best
commercial practices. Specifically, OGP is in a unique position
through its policy-making authority to champion and facilitate
agencies’ adoption of a holistic management of Federal assets and
employee services through their life cycle. This is of particular
importance for those assets and services that have common
business processes regardless of the multitude of diverse
stakeholders. By exercising its regulatory authority, identifying and
promulgating best practices, and evaluating agencies’ policy
adoption and performance, OGP can drive significant savings and
cost avoidance in critical activities of the business of government.
OGP's mission is to improve Government-wide management.
OGP’s policymaking authority and policy support cover the areas of
personal and real property management, travel and transportation,
information technology, regulatory information and use of Federal
advisory committees. OGP’s strategic direction has been focused
on management improvements in these major areas. To reach the
goal of improving Government-wide management of property,
technology, and administrative services, OGP builds and maintains
a policy framework, by (1) incorporating the requirements of Federal
laws, Executive Orders, and other regulatory material into policies
and guidelines, (2) facilitating Government-wide reform to provide
Federal managers with business-like incentives and tools and
flexibility to prudently manage their assets, and (3) identifying,
evaluating, and promoting best practices to improve efficiency of
management processes.
For example, OGP is developing policies and regulatory
requirements that are facilitating a Government-wide solution for
end-to-end travel management. Working closely with OMB, OGP is
providing leadership in developing policy “bridges” that are assisting
agencies in consolidating key businesses into centers of expertise,
e.g., financial management, human resource management, and
grants management into a nucleus of service providers. OGP is
driving to embed the policy goals of the PMA into the services that
GSA operationally provides across government including travel, eAuthentication, software asset management, real property asset
management, and SmartBuy. These are current examples that
portend the future for GSA in servicing the changing needs of
agencies. The principles of the PMA emphasize standards,
interoperability, collaboration, and decision-making at the enterprise
level instead of program by program. GSA’s services through
partnership with OGP policies can provide the operational capability
for agencies that are consistent with these trends and are central to
an effective Federal government in the 21st century.
Guided by the principles of the President’s Management Agenda
(PMA) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), some of
OGP’s recent efforts have been devoted to providing leadership in
the development of a policy environment and key enablers for
electronic Government (eGovernment), and supporting OMB in the
implementation of various eGovernment initiatives to standardize
and streamline government processes. Significant resources have
also been allocated to: identify and promote best practices and
performance measures to make the Federal Government’s
management processes more efficient and effective; encourage
innovative solutions toward more productive work environments;
and, coordinate major Government-wide management improvement
initiatives. OGP plays an active policy role that helps agencies
understand and implement new ways of doing business, effectively
align with common standards, and adopt Government-wide
solutions that increase efficiencies.

In the planning year ahead, OGP will demonstrate this capability by
developing more effective asset management policies for real and
personal property and the reengineering and alignment of business
and work processes Government-wide. OGP will continue to build
on its successful record of policy-making through collaboration with
Federal agencies, interagency governing bodies, and other
governments, and act as a change agent throughout Government to
advance new policy agenda on behalf of OMB and Congress.
Greater emphasis will be placed on (1) analysis of performance data
for evaluating policy adoption and implementation by other
agencies, and (2) targeted efforts on key emerging policy issues (eAuthentication, security, etc.) and policy formulation (life-cycle asset
management) recommended by stakeholders and customers. In
addition, OGP will work closely with the Resource management
Offices (RMO) at OMB to ensure policy support for Administration
initiatives.
E-Government:
• Work with OMB to ensure the effective development and
policy drivers for the implementation of an effective crossservicing environment Government-wide.
• Support the implementation of Homeland Security Policy
Directive (HSPD)-12, the Federal Public Key Infrastructure
(FPKI) and the Federal e-Authentication initiative.
Travel, Transportation and Asset Management:
• Ensure timely and accurate policies and best practices are
communicated to our customers.
• Develop and improve data collection to gain better
understanding of our sphere of influence, to develop more
effective Government-wide policies and annual agency
scorecards.
• Continue and improve customer outreach efforts to
encourage collaborative policy making.
• Use a business-oriented approach whenever feasible,
developing and measuring meaningful outcomes.
Proposed Initiatives and Priorities
•
•
•
Develop life cycle cost policy for sustainability.
Develop plain language regulations and guidance promoting
asset management and alternative work arrangements.
Improve/increase data collection mechanisms to gain better
understanding of government performance, and partner with
agencies to establish performance criteria and capture data
for analysis.
Clarify agency accountability for delegated programs to
achieve compliance.
Establish clear lines of accountability and management
controls within GSA organizations, and apply performance
metrics to maximize internal management of GSA assets
and comply with Government-wide policy.
GSA Administrative Policy (funded under the Working Capital
Fund):

address issues that traditionally involve significant Congressional
interest and private sector concerns. In addition to commenting
during the formal rule-making process, customers and stakeholders
provide input through two forums, interagency committees and
executive-level councils that discuss strategic direction and policy
concerns.
Major Offices:
1.
Office of Technology Strategy
The Office of Technology Strategy creates opportunities for
intergovernmental and public-private collaboration, to ensure an
integrated policy and technical infrastructure for the Government’s
use of information technology. It leads the development of uniform
standards and interoperability guidelines for electronic commerce,
and facilitates Government-wide implementation of electronic
applications. It also helps to develop the policy for adoption of
common business approaches, architectures and innovative
technologies to improve usability and accessibility of Government
information and services. The Financial System Integration Office,
an independent entity, was transferred to OGP in FY 2006. This
office also provides guidance and interagency council support for
the Chief Information Officers Council, Chief Financial Officers
Council, Chief Human Capital Officers Council, and Chief
Acquisition Officers Council.

Summary of Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) Review
The Office of Governmentwide Policy received a rating of “Results
Not Demonstrated” for the FY 2004 PART review. The findings of
the PART indicated OGP’s need to develop long-term outcome
measures, and the need for regularly scheduled independent
evaluations of OGP programs. (Note: the OCAO was not part of
this review.)
OGP undertook a complete overhaul of its performance
measurement system and pioneered a new approach to measuring
the effects of policy. The result of this effort is OGP’s Policy
Performance Portfolio System (3PS. Under the 3PS system, there
are four long-term outcome measures of the effectiveness of the
policies under the direction of OGP and OGP’s internal efficiency in
developing those policies. For each fiscal year, all of the long term
measures as based on a portfolio of program-specific performance
measures. Each year’s portfolio includes measures from the policy
areas that comprise OGP’s most important policy initiatives for that
year. The results of the program-specific measures in each year’s
portfolio are aggregated to generate the metrics for the four longterm measures. This portfolio approach allows OGP to measure its
success in achieving its strategic priorities (which may be different
from year to year) within the framework of a consistent set of longterm measures.
Office of Real Property Management
The Office of Real Property Management provides policy guidance
in real property asset management. It serves as a focal point that
brings the public and private sector together to improve Government
asset management practices and facilitate the adoption of a bestpractices management approach for real property. Its primary
customers are Federal landholding agencies. It promotes greater
efficiency in the use of real property resources and better work
environments for a more productive workforce.
3.
Office of Travel, Transportation and Asset Management
One component of the 3PS portfolio measurement system is the
use of focus groups to assess OGP’s effectiveness. Input from the
user community and stakeholders provides continuous feedback
