This issue paper requires that GSA (and other agencies) maintain depots only when there is an overriding national security interest or an economic advantage over commercial alternatives.

SUP04: Streamline and improve contracting strategies for the Multiple Award Schedule program.

This issue paper contains a number of recommendations that would, among other things, eliminate mandatory requirements for the Multiple Award Schedule program and change synopsis and order limitations for information technology procurements.

This issue paper would give agencies the authority to dispose of agency-owned vehicles and remove GSA as the monopoly service provider.

SUP06: Eliminate the monopoly that will devolve personal property management authorities.

Among other things, the recommendations in this issue paper would make substantial changes in GSA's Public Buildings Service by granting agencies the authority to choose their sources of real property services, creating competitive real property enterprises and centers of expertise within GSA, and improving GSA's management of the government's real property assets.
