The Public Buildings Service (PBS) has reengineered GSA
real property activities to focus directly on delivery of services
to customer agencies and to permit measurement of performance against commercial practices. PBS has reorganized along
major business lines representing the services it provides.
The major business lines include: Commercial Brokerage (satisfying tenant agency space requirements); Fee Developer
(construction and modernization and repair and alterations
of federally-owned space); Property Management (managing,
operating, repairing and maintaining federal space); Portfolio
Management (managing real estate assets to ensure efficient
planning, return on investment and use); Federal Protective
Service (law enforcement and security within GSA-controlled
buildings); Property Disposal (utilization and disposal of excess Federal real property). This re-engineering is consistent
with the initiative to privatize real property services.
The Federal Buildings Fund finances the activities of the
Public Buildings Service which provides space and services
for Federal agencies in a relationship similar to that of landlord and tenant.
The Fund, established in 1975, replaces direct appropriations by using income derived from rent assessments which
approximate commercial rates for comparable space and services. Rent and other income to the fund is as follows:

The Federal Buildings Fund program consists of the following activities financed from rent charges:
Construction and acquisition of facilities.—Space is acquired
through the construction or purchase of facilities and prospectus-level extensions to existing buildings. All costs directly
attributable to site acquisition, construction, and the full
range of design and construction services and management
and inspection of construction projects are funded under this
activity.
Repairs and alterations.—Repairs and alterations of public
buildings as well as associated design and construction services are funded under this activity. Protection of the Government’s investment, health and safety of building occupants,
transfer of agencies from leased space, and cost effectiveness
are the principal criteria used in establishing priorities. Primary consideration is given to repairs to prevent deterioration
and damage to buildings, their support systems, and operating equipment. This activity also provides for conversion of
existing facilities and non-prospectus extensions.
Installment acquisition payments.—Payments are made for
liabilities incurred under purchase contract authority and
lease purchase arrangements. The periodic payments cover
principal, interest, taxes, and other requirements. Purchase
contract authority, which provided for private investment capital financing of public buildings, expired at the end of 1975.
Rental of space.—Space is acquired through the leasing of
buildings including space occupied by Federal agencies in U.S.
Postal Service facilities. This program will provide an esti-

Other programs.—When requested by Federal agencies, the
Public Buildings Service provides building services such as
tenant alterations, cleaning and other operations, and protection services which are in excess of those services provided
under the commercial rental charge. For presentation purposes the balances of the Unconditional Gifts of Real, Personal, or Other Property trust fund have been combined with
the Federal Buildings Fund.
Agency debt.—The following table reflects agency debt outstanding for the construction of federal buildings under authorities previously provided:

Public Law 99–88 provided that expenses of Transportation
Audit Contracts and Contract Administration activities shall
be financed from overcharges collected from carriers on transportation bills paid by the Government and other similar
type refunds. Public Law 99–627 granted GSA authority to
delegate to the Government agencies prepayment audit of
their transportation bills before they pay transportation carriers, permanent authority to pay transportation audit contractors from carrier overcharges collected, and authority to
transfer net overpayments collected to the Treasury. Public
Law 103–123 provided that additional expenses be financed
from overpayments collected from carriers.

This fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, a national
supply distribution system, a system of ordering supplies for
direct delivery to agencies, a system providing for the management, on a worldwide basis, for the sale of surplus personal property for agencies, a system of transportation and
travel management which ensures discounted rates for lodging, transportation, and small package mailings for Federal
customers, and a system of interagency Federal Fleet Management Centers. Legislation was enacted in fiscal year 1988
to authorize full cost recovery for all supply management,
operating, and overhead expenses related to providing goods
and services to other agencies through the General Supply
Fund. Full cost recovery pricing results in the true cost of
supplies and services being reflected in charges to agencies.
In 1995, the Schedules Program began a three-year phased
implementation from its previous funding under the Operating Expenses, GSA appropriation to reimbursable funding.
In 1997, the Information Technology Multiple Award Schedules Program is consolidated into the Supply Schedules Program in the General Supply Fund. Portions of the Transportation and Travel Management Programs, previously funded
under the Operating Expenses, GSA appropriation were
transferred to the General Supply Fund in 1995 and are
included under Miscellaneous.
Supply operations.—
Stores, regular.—Stock of common-use commodities is
purchased in volume, stocked, and issued through supply
facilities to Government agencies. Sales were $941.5 million
in 1995 and are estimated to be $890.5 million in 1996
and $864 million in 1997. A 1995 price comparison of 120
commonly used office supplies against private sector leaders
reported a 8.3% price advantage for Stores, regular supplies. In terms of service, the percentage of requisitions
filled from stock within 15 days was 97%, exceeding the
goal of 93%, and requisitions were shipped in an average
of 9.9 days versus a goal of 12 days. These accomplishments
were achieved while simultaneously lowering the inventory
level by 55% since 1992.
Stores, direct delivery.—Orders for store-type items, if sufficiently large and delivery time is not a factor, are placed
with the commercial source of supply for delivery directly
to the customer. Sales were $71.7 million in 1995, and
are estimated to be $65.2 million in 1996, and $63.3 million
in 1997.
Special orders.—Definite quantity requirements of commodities which are not susceptible to economical stocking
in supply facilities are purchased for direct shipment to
using agencies. Sales were $1,342.5 million in 1995, and

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICE
Federal Funds

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

are estimated to be $1,225.4 million in 1996, and $1,253.8
million in 1997.
Schedules.—This contracting function provides a governmentwide supply support program of commercial items and
information technology items required by Federal agencies
and other authorized users. Reimbursable sales were $49.1
million in 1995 and are expected to be $16.5 million in
1996 and $27.1 million in 1997. An on-line electronic catalog system, GSA Advantage, has been developed to allow
customers to electronically browse and order items from
GSA schedules. This eliminates the maintenance of paper
schedules and catalogs.
Miscellaneous.—The Personal Property Sales Program
sales were $14.2 million in 1995 and are estimated to be
$13.2 million in 1996 and 1997. The Transportation and
Travel Management Program sales were $0.3 million in
1995 and are estimated to be $4.9 million in 1996 and
1997.
Federal Fleet Management Centers.—Services are provided through a system of Fleet Management Centers. Sales
were $705.2 million in 1995, and are estimated to be $709.6
million in 1996 and $716.5 million in 1997. The GSA Standard Tender governing the Government’s relationship with
private industry as a freight shipper saved the Government
over $47 million in shipping costs in 1995. The Next Day,
small package mailing program, resulted in a savings of
76% versus the comparable commercial service for 8.6 million packages mailed.
The fleet’s 1995 operating cost per mile was 27.6 cents
versus 27.2 cents in 1994. Studies continue to show fleet
center’s costs are lower than those in the private sector,
averaging an approximate 5.7 cents per mile savings for
sedans, minivans, and light trucks.

The Information Technology Fund was authorized by the
Paperwork Reduction Reauthorization Act of 1986, as included in Public Laws 99–500 and 99–591, section 821(a)(1).
The Fund was established as of January 1, 1987, and consists
of the assets, liabilities and capital of the Federal Telecommunications Fund and the Automatic Data Processing
Fund. The purpose of the fund is to help ensure that automatic data processing, telecommunications, and other information technologies are acquired and used by the Federal
Government in a manner which improves service delivery
and program management, increases productivity, improves
the quality of decisionmaking, reduces waste and fraud, and
wherever practicable and appropriate, reduces the information
processing burden for the Federal Government and for persons who provide information to and for the Federal Government.
The fund is available for expenses and for procurement
for efficiently providing information technology resources to
Federal agencies for promoting use of the latest technology
to deliver services, and for the efficient management, coordination, operation, and use of such resources.
Levels of funding for capital investments and for operating
capital are determined through the submission and approval
process of planned cost and capital requirements to OMB

by GSA pursuant to section 110(a)(1), Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by Public
Law 99–591.
The Information Technology Fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, the following Government-wide IT programs and
services:
Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS).—The FTS provides Government-wide telecommunications services to all
Federal agencies. In September 1995, management of the
local and long-distance telecommunications services was integrated into the FTS. This organizational structure will enable
a more efficient, cost effective and responsive delivery of services to the Federal customer.
Long-distance telecommunications services are provided to
more than 1.7 million users through two ten-year multi-billion
dollar FTS2000 contracts awarded to AT&T and Sprint in
December 1988. The contracts provide the Government with
low-cost, state-of-the-art, integrated voice, data and video telecommunications services. The contracts provide for ‘‘services’’
rather than equipment. GSA’s role is to oversee and manage
the provision of those services.
FTS manages local telecommunications services provided
to Federal agencies. This includes operating consolidated systems, as well as procuring cost advantageous telephone service and equipment through competitive processes. Responsibilities include GSA support to government-wide national security emergency preparedness plans and ensuring that the critical telecommunications needs of the Government are available during local, national, and international crises.
Office of Information Security.—Provides worldwide support
to all Government activities, including GSA, and allied nations through Department of Defense sponsors, conducting
sensitive, classified, diplomatic or military missions. To meet
this responsibility, the program participates in the development of Government-wide information security policies and
provides a comprehensive range of information security technical support services necessary to manage and support mission critical communications. The program manages the Federal Security Infrastructure Program Management Office (SI–
PMO), jointly chaired by ITS and DOD, which was established
to form a security infrastructure in support of the NPR recommendations on the national information infrastructure for
information technology.
Information Technology Applications.—Includes several IT
initiatives approved by the Interagency Management Council
(IMC) which ensure that state-of-the-art technologies are deployed throughout the government on a timely and cost-effective basis. The Electronic Mail (E–Mail) program provides
assistance to Federal agencies in the implementation of a
government-wide electronic mail service to facilitate communications among the Federal government, the private sector
and U.S. citizens. The Electronic Commerce (EC) program
provides government-wide support, coordination, and oversight of Federal agencies’ progress in the implementation of
electronic commerce capabilities which is necessary to help
streamline and simplify government procurement.
ADP Technical Services.—This activity is comprised of several non-mandatory programs aimed at meeting client needs
in the acquisition and effective use of ADP resources. The
Federal Information Systems Support Program, with offices
coast to coast, provides Federal agencies technical, contractual
and administrative support in acquiring services for system
definition, design and requirements analysis, software programming, facility management (including local area network
management, and operation of computer systems and networks, and data capture and retrieval), and other related
activities. Services are provided through regional contracts
with private sector vendors tailored to local market conditions
and needs of client Federal agencies. The Federal Computer
Acquisition Center (FEDCAC) provides support in the com-

petitive acquisition of large dollar value non-developmental
computer systems and associated services. The Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) delivers
a wide range of services through private sector contracts to
clients worldwide including Federal Information Processing
resources acquisition, systems integration, software management, information technology facilities management, local
area network implementation, and networking. Also included
in this category is the information processing and end-user
technical and program support that GSA provides to external
agency customers.
In addition to the CIO functions performed through the
Operating Expenses appropriation, the Information Services
and Technical Support (ISTS) program provides, on a nonmandatory reimbursable basis, GSA-wide information infrastructure for data communications and National Systems Program in support of GSA business lines.

This appropriation covers relocation costs involved in moving agencies from valuable underutilized property, targeted
for public sale, to facilities determined to be more economically suitable to their needs. Relocation and disposal is considered when the benefit/cost ratio is at least 2:1. The sale of
these valuable underutilized properties would provide significant revenue to the Treasury and would far outweigh the
relocation costs involved. The unallocated balance as of the
end of 1995 is $1.547 million.
No appropriation is requested for this program in 1997.
GSA will solicit relocation proposals from agencies and request funds to implement those proposals that have the highest economic benefit to the Government.
