Through the Public Buildings Service, Federal Acquisition Service, and various staff offices, we provide workspace for federal civilian workers, oversee the preservation of historic buildings, and facilitate the federal government’s purchase of high-quality, low-cost goods and services from reliable commercial vendors.
