The General Services Administration’s recently launched governmentwide acquisition hub not only better organizes goods and services around categories, it is leading to a better organized government acquisition workforce, said GSA Administrator Denise Turner Roth.
GSA’s Acquisition Gateway provides a central location for the government’s 61,000 procurement professionals to learn, connect and act upon acquisition information, said Roth during a discussion at the ACT-IAC Executive Leadership Conference Oct. 27.
The platform and use of category management has elicited “an immediate response” from the contracting community and encouraged GSA to reorganize its workforce in a way that takes advantage of strong expertise in specific categories, said Roth.
