âThis is the right time to implement these changes to GSAâs supply program and they are one part of a new vision we are outlining for FAS over the next year,â Sharpe wrote in a blog post published Jan. 30.
GSA plans to streamline its vendor function to keep in line with evolving agency missions, Sharpe says.
FAS uses stocked inventory and warehouse distribution centers to move products and plans to shift to a wholesale supply business model for direct shipping to customers.
âBy working closely with our vendors, we have an opportunity to support our federal partners with the value and services they need, through a system that is suited to todayâs marketplace,â he added.
