GSA Solicits Industry Feedback to Enhance American-Made Product Procurement

The Request for Information (RFI) for private sector solutions to make it even easier for federal agencies to buy American-made products through GSA Advantage!

WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry insights on how to reinforce American producers that provide goods and materials to federal agencies through the GSA Advantage! marketplace.

“As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, GSA is prioritizing American suppliers and seeking industry feedback to reach this goal most effectively,” said GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst. “The Trump Administration’s and GSA’s enhanced focus on procuring US-made products will strengthen our economy, create resilient supply chains, and bolster America’s workforce.” 

GSA Advantage! is the government’s leading online catalog and ordering system providing federal, state, and local agencies access to millions of products and services from thousands of GSA Schedule contractors. Every year, GSA Advantage! facilitates hundreds of millions of dollars worth of sales.

Beyond this RFI, GSA has made significant advancements in its commitment to the Made in America initiative, strengthening its oversight of contractor compliance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) within its programs including the Federal Supply Schedules (FSS).

GSA is committed to managing supply chain risk. It uses a variety of reviews and supply chain illumination tools to preclude prohibited items from receiving a contract award. GSA also regularly monitors its FSS contracts to immediately respond to emergent risks. Through this, GSA guards against products not from authorized resellers, items manufactured by congressionally prohibited entities, and out of date IT equipment that pose security risks. In FY25, GSA prevented 70,915 TAA non-compliant items from ever being awarded to a GSA contract and removed approximately 39,000 items for non-compliance.

The Request for Information is now available.
