White House Mandates Smarter Fed Shopping to Save Billions
Published Date: 3/25/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
The federal government spends nearly $490 billion a year buying common goods and services, but right now, many agencies do this on their own, which wastes money and time. This new order says all these purchases will be handled by the General Services Administration (GSA) to save taxpayer dollars and make buying smarter and faster. Starting soon, agencies will focus on their main jobs while GSA handles the buying, cutting down on waste and duplication.

Consolidate Federal Buying to Save Taxpayers
If you are a taxpayer, the President ordered on March 20, 2025 that common federal purchases—about $490 billion per year—be consolidated under the General Services Administration. The order says this consolidation will eliminate waste and duplication and save taxpayer dollars by having GSA conduct domestic procurement of common goods and services.
