A tale is told of a once great supplier of federal goods and services, which may no longer be as great as it was.
Is this the story behind the story told by Daniel Pulliam of govexec.com?
It seems as though GSA may be losing its touch in attracting federal agencies to employ its services to provide them with same.
I recall many years ago that GSA was the only game in town. Federal agencies had to obtain goods and services (office space, equipment, computers, etc.) through GSA. Now, other means for procuring these commodities are available. GSA no longer possesses monopoly like stature.
Why is GSA seeing this decline? Any ideas?
