Federal Acquisition Service

Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), a civilian component of the General Services Administration and a child entity of the U.S. Government, procures and delivers office supplies, furniture, security containers, and custodial consumables to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards). FAS operates as an internal government procurement mechanism rather than a commercial vendor — it receives no subcontract work and carries no SBA designations.

FAS's customer footprint spans 92 federal agencies across the executive, judicial, and defense sectors. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 43% of recent awards: the U.S. Agency for International Development (75 awards, $549 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Energy National Energy Technology Lab (44 awards, $344 thousand), and the State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Bureau of African Affairs, and Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (combined 58 awards, $719 thousand). The two rankings diverge modestly — USAID leads both volume and dollars, but the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Networks hold the second and third positions by potential value ($426 thousand and $385 thousand respectively across a smaller award count), reflecting occasional larger single-item procurements for medical facilities and administrative locations.

FAS's award portfolio is thinly distributed across a broad range of small purchase orders. The combined potential value across all 412 awards stands at $15 million, with $14 million obligated (93% of potential value), reflecting the consumable and equipment-replacement nature of the work. By NAICS code, FAS concentrates in Office Supplies and Stationery Stores (78 awards) and Other General Government Support (77 awards). By PSC code, Office Supplies dominate (147 awards), followed by Passenger Motor Vehicles (25 awards), R&D Defense Other Services (Basic Research) (25 awards), Office Furniture (20 awards), and Cleaning and Polishing Compounds (13 awards). Representative named contracts include a $15,150 toilet paper purchase order from the State Department's Bureau of African Affairs (January 2026), an $863,423 bunk bed, bedding, and mattress delivery to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (August 2025 award), an $864,085 uninsulated classified filing cabinet procurement from Air Force Space Command (September 2022 award), and a $79,936 safes procurement for U.S. Marshals Service locations (August 2021 award). Activity has been low and flat — one award in 2026, three each in 2024 and 2025, compared to six in 2023 and five in 2022. FAS does not compete for contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; all 412 awards are direct purchase orders from individual agencies.
