Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

This revolving fund provides for real property management and related activities, including operation, maintenance, repair of Federally owned buildings, and the construction of Federal buildings, courthouses and land ports of entry. Expenses of the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) are financed from rental charges assessed to occupants of General Services Administration (GSA)-controlled space. Rent assessments, by law, approximate commercial rates for comparable space and services. Rental income is augmented by appropriations to the fund when new construction needs exceed the resources available for investment within the fund.

The Budget requests $10,178 million in new obligational authority for the FBF. The Administration's proposal ensures that GSA spends at least at the level of anticipated rent that it collects from Federal Departments and Agencies in order to provide services to those customers.

Historically, the FBF has been permitted to spend at least what it collects from agencies to support leasing from the private sector, as well as maintenance, repairs, major renovations, and new construction to accommodate agency needs in buildings that GSA owns and operates. However, in several recent years, the FBF appropriations were significantly below the anticipated level of rent collections from agencies, denying GSA the ability to pursue an appropriately-sized capital program relative to the size of its portfolio. By restoring the principle that the FBF should be allowed to spend what it collects and pursuing a robust capital program, the Administration hopes to accomplish a number of policy goals: avoiding larger, longer-term capital costs associated with deferring maintenance of Federal facilities, improving energy efficiency at GSA-owned facilities, and realizing a smaller Federal footprint through improved building utilization. Those goals are also supported through the fiscal year 2017 Budget proposal to allow advance appropriations in fiscal year 2018 for spending at the anticipated level of collections in the FBF. This net zero proposal supports capital requirements as well as operating expenses. Advanced appropriations would provide greater certainty to support capital projects and ensure that the funds that agencies pay to GSA are used promptly to construct, maintain, and operate GSA facilities.

The FBF consists of the following activities:

Construction and Acquisition of Facilities.—This activity provides for the construction or purchase of facilities, prospectus-level extensions to existing buildings, and remediation. All costs directly attributable to site acquisition, construction, and the full range of design and construction services, and management and inspection of construction projects are funded under this activity.

Repairs and Alterations.—This activity provides for repairs and alterations of existing buildings as well as associated design and construction services. Protection of the Government's investment, health and safety of building occupants, transfer of agencies from leased space, and cost effectiveness are the principal criteria used in establishing priorities. Repairs to prevent deterioration and damage to buildings, their support systems, and operating equipment are given priority.

Installment Acquisition Payments.—This activity provides for payments for liabilities incurred under purchase contract authority and lease purchase agreements. GSA makes periodic payments to cover interest and other requirements on the debt incurred for construction of Federal buildings.

Rental of Space.—This activity provides for the leasing of privately-owned buildings. Including space occupied by Federal agencies in U.S. Postal Service facilities, GSA provided 193 million square feet of rental space in 2015. GSA expects to provide 190 million square feet of rental space in 2016 and 188 million in 2017.

Building Operations.—Building Services: This activity provides services for Government-owned and leased facilities, including cleaning, utilities and fuel, maintenance, and miscellaneous services (such as moving, evaluation of new materials and equipment, and field supervision). Salaries and Expenses: This activity provides general management and administration of all real property related programs including salaries and benefits paid from the FBF, administrative costs funded directly by the FBF, and contributions to the GSA Working Capital Fund. The following tables provide additional detail regarding the 2016 and 2017 building operations program (estimated obligations in millions).

Other Programs.—When requested by other Federal agencies, the Public Buildings Service provides building services, such as tenant alterations, cleaning and other operations, and protection services which are in excess of those services provided under the commercial rental charges.

This appropriation covers relocation costs involved in moving agencies from valuable underutilized property, targeted for public sale, to facilities determined to be more economically suitable to their needs. Relocation and disposal is considered when the benefit/cost ratio is at least 2:1. The sale of these valuable underutilized properties would provide significant revenue to the Treasury and would far outweigh the relocation costs involved.

No appropriation is requested for this program in 2016. General Services Administration will solicit relocation proposals from agencies.

The Acquisition Services Fund (ASF) is a full cost recovery revolving fund that finances operations of the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS). The ASF provides for the acquisition of information technology solutions, telecommunications, motor vehicles, supplies and a wide range of goods and services for federal agencies. This fund recovers all costs through fees charged to federal agencies for services rendered and commodities provided.

The ASF is authorized by section 321 of title 40, United States Code, which requires the Administrator to establish rates to be charged to agencies receiving services that: (1) fully recover costs and (2) provide for the cost and capital requirements of the ASF. The ASF is authorized to retain earnings to cover the cost of replacing fleet vehicles (Replacement Cost Pricing), maintaining supply inventories adequate for customer needs, and funding anticipated operating needs specified by the Cost and Capital Plan.

The ASF is organized around four major business portfolios and three initiatives that deliver solutions to customer agencies:

Integrated Technology Services (ITS)—provides partner agencies with information technology (IT) and telecommunications products and services. ITS provides access to IT services, hardware, software, telecommunications and security services through multiple channels including the Network Services Program, IT Schedule 70, and Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs). In addition, ITS manages the Federal Public Key Infrastructure.

Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS)—assists agencies in making informed procurement decisions and serves as a center of acquisition excellence for the federal community. AAS provides acquisition, technical, and project management services related to information technology and professional services at the best value.

General Supplies and Services (GSS)—provides partner agencies with general products such as furniture, office supplies, and hardware products. GSS centralizes acquisitions on behalf of the Government to strategically procure goods and services at reduced costs, while ensuring regulatory compliance for partner agency procurements. This portfolio also provides personal property disposal services to partner agencies, which are partially funded by the Operating Expenses appropriation.

Travel, Motor Vehicle and Card Services (TMVCS)—provides partner agencies with a broad scope of services that include travel and relocation, freight management, motor vehicle acquisition, fleet management, and charge card services.

Integrated Award Environment (IAE)—provides a web-based environment that maximizes the power of federal spending data standards. IAE's mission is to work with the federal acquisition workforce and business partners to standardize, integrate, and streamline the federal awarding processes through electronic means, while increasing transparency and ensuring compliance with all applicable federal award regulations .

18F — builds effective, user-centric digital services to improve interaction between government and the people and businesses it serves. It helps agencies deliver on their mission through the development of digital and web services. 18F is financed through the ASF on a reimbursable basis with customer agencies and is managed through GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies.

Common Acquisition Platform (CAP)—repurposes IT systems and develops new systems in support of GSA-wide acquisition shared services. The newly developed systems provide federal agencies with access to acquisition support data (e.g. prices paid and qualified suppliers) that allows for informed purchases.

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

The Information Technology Modernization Fund (ITMF) is designed to be a full cost recovery revolving fund that finances the retirement of antiquated, legacy IT systems in order to transition to new, more secure, more efficient, modern IT platforms. The fund serves as a long-term, self-sustaining mechanism for Federal agencies to regularly refresh outdated networks and systems with the newest technologies and security capabilities. As funding is allocated to priority agency projects across the Federal Government, it is subsequently replenished by agency repayments to the fund as well as fee-for-service receipts from the development and operation of shared IT platforms.

The fund is to be managed by GSA, including a project review board, comprised of experts in IT acquisition, cybersecurity, and agile development. The board reviews agency modernization proposals and selects projects for funding to ensure prioritization of projects with the greatest risk profile, government-wide impact, and probability of success. In addition, a team of systems architects and developers at GSA provide additional expertise, oversight, and development capabilities as agencies make these major transitions.
