SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrator of GSA established the GAP
FAC as a discretionary advisory committee under agency authority in
accordance with the provisions of the FACA, as amended (5 U.S.C. app
2).
As America's buyer, GSA is uniquely positioned to enable a modern,
accessible, and streamlined acquisition ecosystem and a robust
marketplace connecting buyers to the suppliers and businesses that meet
their mission needs. The GAP FAC will assist GSA in this endeavor
through expert advice on a broad range of innovative solutions to
acquisition policy, workforce, and industry partnership challenges.
The GAP FAC will serve as an advisory body to GSA's Administrator
on how GSA can use its acquisition tools and authorities to target the
highest priority Federal acquisition challenges. The initial focus for
the GAP FAC will be on driving regulatory, policy, and process changes
required to embed climate and sustainability considerations in Federal
acquisition. This includes examining and recommending steps GSA can
take to support its workforce and industry partners in ensuring climate
and
[[Page 21191]]
sustainability issues are fully considered in the acquisition process.

The purpose of this meeting is for each of the three subcommittees
(Policy and Practice, Industry Partnerships, and Acquisition Workforce)
to present recommendations to the full Committee. The Committee will,
in turn, deliberate and vote on GAP FAC recommendations to be delivered
to the GSA Administrator.
