Answers to FAQs about assets identified for accelerated disposition

The first list posted to this site was much longer, why is this list shorter?

GSA is now publishing lists of assets we intend to dispose of in a more measured way. The initial list reflected properties identified for potential disposal at that stage of review. As additional analysis was completed, the list was refined to ensure each property underwent appropriate review and coordination before being posted publicly. The list will continue to be updated as we execute our strategy to rightsize the federal portfolio.

Does this smaller list represent a shift in GSA’s approach to disposal?

No. This does not represent a shift in GSA’s approach to disposal. Our commitment to reducing the federal footprint and disposing of unneeded assets remains the same. What has evolved is how we are sequencing and publishing properties. The smaller list reflects that deliberate process—not a change in policy or direction.

GSA regularly screens assets for disposition, considering key factors such as occupancy and utilization, asset condition, reinvestment needs, the availability and cost of alternative space, financial performance, and mission requirements. GSA supports the Administration’s priorities of rightsizing the federal footprint and saving taxpayer dollars. We continue to pursue a disciplined, data-driven approach to identifying federal properties as candidates for disposition.

How quickly will these buildings be available?

Accelerated Disposition refers to a strategic and holistic approach to expedite the identification, preparation, and disposal of underutilized or vacant federal properties. This includes proactive planning, dedicated staffing, streamlined processes, and targeted marketing, as well as careful coordination of tenant relocation when necessary, an essential step in preparing properties for disposition.

These efforts are designed to facilitate the timely transfer or conveyance of properties while ensuring transparency, addressing community considerations, and supporting cost savings and potential revitalization opportunities. GSA will move to dispose of these assets as expeditiously as possible, consistent with customer agency mission needs and the legislative and regulatory requirements governing the disposal of federal property.

When are customer agencies notified?

GSA notified all affected agencies before we published the existing list. GSA’s Public Buildings Service’s foundational mission is to deliver cost-effective workspace solutions to federal agency customers. GSA continues to work closely with customer agencies whose spaces are affected by disposition decisions, to ensure agency workforces have safe, comfortable, and efficient workspaces that advance agency missions and ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.
