Alan Thomas, founder of Alpha Tango Strategies, and Bill Gormley, president of the Gormley Group, join host Roger Waldron on this week's Off the Shelf for an engrossing discussion of the evolving federal procurement market.  The discussion highlights the consolidation of procurement functions at the General Services Administration (GSA) pursuant to the president’s executive order.  Thomas and Gormley, both former senior executives at GSA, share their insights on the role of GSA, the management opportunities, and considerations of consolidating federal procurement for common products and services with GSA’s Federal Acquisition Services (FAS).  They also provide historical context to GSA’s role in federal procurement and how the consolidation will reshape the federal market.  As part of that discussion, Thomas and Gormley share their thoughts regarding consolidation opportunities and implementation strategies for GSA and FAS.  Other topics covered include right-sizing GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule program, the impending rewrite of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and the state of the IT GWACs.     Learn more about your ad choices.
