3. Federal Acquisition Service U.S. General Services Administration Background 2 Commodity Team goals for the new government-wide OS solution  Achieve savings  Capture data  Enable achievement of socio-economic goals  Drive compliance with mandates, acts, orders  Conform with Agency business practices  Be easy to use Background  The Federal Government spends over $1.6B annually on office supplies  Generally, the government does not leverage its spend to receive lower pricing - few agencies channel significant volume through negotiated solutions  Limited data has historically been available to better understand and change purchasing practices  Socioeconomic and program compliance needs add complexity for agencies trying to manage OS spend The Commodity Team collaboratively developed a set of requirements and the associated commodity strategy to achieve the identified goals
