If you sell to the government, then important updates at GSA are coming…you’ll want to follow closely.
Larry Allen is stepping into a key role at GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy, and he’s focused on fixing inefficiencies that slow down sales and create compliance headaches.
Here’s what’s on the table:
A Dedicated Schedules Office – GSA Schedules could soon be managed by a specialized team, similar to other major contract vehicles like OASIS and Alliant. This could mean faster contract modifications and fewer compliance obstacles.
TTS Reform – The Technology Transformation Service (TTS) has struggled with sustainability. If it doesn’t become more efficient, it may be restructured or phased out. This could lead to better digital tools and fewer administrative hurdles.
Improved Acquisition Policy Coordination – Currently, policy teams and contracting officers operate separately, which can create confusion for vendors. Bringing them back under the same framework could result in clearer guidelines and more predictable processes for businesses selling to the government.
Why This Matters for You
Faster contract approvals and modifications
Clearer compliance expectations
A more stable and predictable federal sales environment
While these changes won’t happen overnight, they are part of a long-term push to make GSA contracting simpler and more profitable for businesses like yours.
