Tim KievitAs you may know, every year GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) coordinates a large survey of customers for 15-18 different programs, including GSA Global Supply. The surveys are mailed to thousands of customers and weekly reminders are sent to encourage recipients to take a few minutes to give us feedback on a given program. (Contact lists are merged and purged so that nobody receives more than one survey.)

Tim KievitIn July 2015 we witnessed a human tragedy in Chattanooga, Tennessee when a shooting incident that began at a military recruiting office ended at a nearby U.S. Naval Reserve facility. Four U.S. Marines died that day and several other people were wounded before the shooter was killed. In the aftermath, the Navy revisited its policy on weapons and storage at Naval Recruiting offices around the country.

Tim KievitAs part of GSA’s Supply Transformation initiative, we are modernizing the IT infrastructure used to process customer orders. The new platform is known as Order Management Services (OMS) and uses an IBM, cloud-based solution to electronically send purchase orders to our vendor partners for fulfillment. Major elements of that initiative will roll out later in FY 2016, but today’s message will focus narrowly on one element of this transition.
