Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs

The General Services Administration Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs, a sub-office of the independent General Services Administration, coordinates the agency's engagement with Congress and state and local governments on legislative and intergovernmental policy matters. The office does not operate as a primary procurement engine; it executes a small contract portfolio focused on specialized communications, research, and administrative support services.

The office has awarded 26 federal contracts cumulatively since 2001, with combined potential value of $553 thousand and combined dollars obligated of $643 thousand. Recent activity is sparse and irregular: 3 awards in 2016, 1 in 2017, 4 in 2018, 1 in 2021, and 3 in 2025, with the most recent award dated May 2025. Eleven distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio lifetime.

Competition is highly fragmented on both award count and dollar volume over the last five years. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees account for 100 percent of recent awards by count and 24 percent by combined potential value, reflecting the small scale and diversity of the contracting activity. The long tail of single or dual-award vendors comprises the remainder of recent activity.

The set-aside mix is minimal: 25 of 26 awards (96 percent) carry no set-aside designation, with 1 award (4 percent) designated as Woman-Owned Small Business Sole Source. The dollar ceiling is well below $1 million, and obligated spend consistently exceeds potential value, suggesting modifications or option exercises on existing awards.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the office. The sparse and infrequent award cadence, coupled with the absence of open solicitations, indicates this is not a sustained contracting avenue for business development purposes.
