Today we dive into one of the most significant procurement transformations happening across the federal government—the consolidation of acquisition under the General Services Administration (GSA). Former FAS Commissioner and Alpha Tango Strategies founder, Alan Thomas, joins the show to dissect what’s driving this bold shift and why it matters to agencies, vendors, and small businesses alike.

You’ll learn why the Department of Homeland Security’s sudden cancellation of its PACTS III and FirstSource III contracts—transferring that work to GSA—sent ripples across the acquisition community. Alan explains how DHS made this move to align with Executive Order 14057 on centralizing procurement and what this means for other agencies potentially following suit. He shares how this transition underscores a broader movement: fewer contracts, more enterprise-wide solutions, and a push for the government to finally “buy as one.”
