Consolidating Federal Procurement Activities, Memorandum , July 18 , 2025
From the document: "On March 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14240, Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement, to ensure common goods and services are acquired in the most efficient and effective manner possible for the American taxpayer. The order directs a series of actions to consolidate domestic Federal procurement of common goods and services in the General Services Administration (GSA) to eliminate waste and duplication while enabling agencies to focus on their core mission of delivering the best possible services for the American people
The Appendix to this memorandum provides guidance to support the successful implementation of the Executive Order and optimization of contract value through smart, aggressive consolidation of buying activities for common goods and services. The activities are focused on two workstreams: (1) increased agency use of centralized contracts managed by GSA, especially for widely available commercial products and basic services, and (2) centralization in GSA of procurement functions currently decentralized across departments and agencies whenever such centralization promotes greater economy and efficiency.
Agencies should work proactively with GSA and 0MB to implement these workstreams and fully leverage GSA's expertise and statutory role as the Federal Government's core buyer for addressing prevalent and repetitive needs."
