GSA supplies products and communications for U.S. government offices, provides transportation and office space to federal employees, and develops government-wide cost-minimizing policies, alongside other management tasks.

TekSynap secured a position on the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Alliant 3 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract on March 20, 2026, a Best-in-Class pre-competed vehicle designed to help federal agencies acquire complex enterprise IT services and solutions. Previously, on March 19, 2026, the GSA sought public comment on a Trump administration proposal that aims to withhold federal funding from recipients engaging in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. This followed the GSA's March 6, 2026, proposal of a first-of-its-kind contract clause, GSAR 552.239‑7001 Basic Safeguarding of Artificial Intelligence Systems, for inclusion in GSA Schedule Contracts through Multiple Award Schedule Refresh 31, with comments due March 20, 2026, to impose dedicated AI-specific safeguarding requirements. Earlier, in December 2025, the GSA removed three Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions related to affirmative action representations and certifications from the SAM.gov registration process, reflecting Executive Order 14173’s revocation of EO 11246.
