The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) uses its expertise to provide innovative solutions for the federal government agencies in support of their missions while it fosters an effective, sustainable, and transparent government for the American people. The agency plays a key role in developing and implementing administrative policies that affect all government agencies by providing a foundation to achieve a Zero Environmental Footprint. The agency has a history of leadership in energy conservation, sustainable building design, and sourcing environmentally-preferable products and services. GSA provides office space to over one million federal employees in over 9,600 federal buildings and leases. In FY 2009, the agency offered over 12 million products and services to other federal agencies with $34.5 billion in budgetary resources. Like other agencies, GSA is committed to pursuing this important mission while managing its finances effectively. This includes ensuring that all financial and accounting transactions are accurate and transparent.
