Federal Acquisition Service

The GSA Federal Acquisition Service, a civilian sub-agency within the General Services Administration, is the federal government's principal supply and logistics arm, procuring and distributing goods, services, and equipment across federal agencies through contracts, schedule programs, and purchasing vehicles. The service operates the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Blanket Purchase Agreements, and other acquisition mechanisms that facilitate federal buying and vendor access to government procurement.

GSA Federal Acquisition Service has awarded 10.87 million federal contracts cumulatively since 1978, with a combined potential value of $56.9 billion and $78.37 billion obligated. Recent activity shows 1.33 million awards in 2023, 1.32 million in 2024, 1.18 million in 2025, 971,365 in 2026, and 5 awards recorded year-to-date in 2027. The portfolio spans 17,832 distinct prime contractors. Recent awards-per-year volumes reflect a declining trend over the past three years.

Competitive concentration among prime contractors is moderately concentrated. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count hold 52 percent of recent awards. National Industries For The Blind leads by count with 1.28 million awards and $449.9 million combined potential value, followed by W.W. Grainger, Inc. with 804,813 awards and $1.48 billion combined potential value, and Noble Supply & Logistics, LLC with 480,856 awards and $228.3 million. By dollar value, concentration is highly fragmented at 5 percent coverage among the top five, with W.W. Grainger, Inc. accounting for $1.48 billion, LC Industries Inc. for $461.9 million, and National Industries For The Blind for $449.9 million. The long tail of smaller vendors and single-transactional primes accounts for the majority of contract count but minimal aggregate value.

The set-aside mix is dominated by non-set-aside awards at 93 percent. Small Business set-asides account for 2 percent of awards; all other designations—including SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, and Competitive 8(a)—together represent less than 1 percent.

Recent contract opportunities span supply procurement, vehicle repair and customization, scrap metals processing and recycling, and IT software licenses. GSA is soliciting sealed bids for DEMIL A mixed metals scrap processing and removal at Fort Mifflin, Pennsylvania (due November 20, 2026), refrigerated box trucks (due October 23, 2026), and various NSN-based supplies including tool kits, blades, fuel sensors, and test-and-measurement modules. GSA is also conducting market research for inherited-credential solutions for Login.gov through a Request for Information (due October 21, 2026) and has posted a pre-solicitation notice for consolidated trailer acquisition on behalf of the Navy with a total-small-business set-aside (due October 20, 2026). A Request for Information for Freedom Power Systems parts is open through October 28, 2026, seeking capability and small-business participation data.
