The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) is a part of the General Services Administration (GSA) in the United States government. Its primary role is to provide federal agencies with a wide range of products and services, including information technology, office supplies, and transportation services. FAS aims to streamline the procurement process, making it easier and more efficient for government entities to acquire what they need. FAS also manages government-wide contracts, such as the GSA Schedules, which allow agencies to purchase goods and services at pre-negotiated prices. By leveraging the purchasing power of the federal government, FAS helps to ensure that agencies receive quality products while saving taxpayer dollars.
