RFI targets marketplace sourcing changes
As reported by General Services Administration itself, the agency has issued a Request for Information to collect industry input on how to better support American producers that supply goods and materials to federal agencies through GSA Advantage!.GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst says the agency is prioritizing American suppliers as the United States marks its 250th anniversary.

GSA Advantage! serves as the government's main online catalog and ordering system, giving federal, state and local agencies access to millions of products and services from thousands of GSA Schedule contractors. The platform facilitates hundreds of millions of dollars in sales each year.
