Brief Overview of the AFR

The purpose of the GSA FY 2018 AFR is to inform the President, Congress, and the American people how GSA used Federal resources in FY 2018 to reliably deliver cost-effective real estate, acquisition, and technology services to the Federal departments and agencies it serves. Providing these services at a good value to our Federal customers allows them to focus their resources on meeting their core missions to the American people.
