SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The GAP FAC serves 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. To accomplish its
work, the GAP FAC established three subcommittees: Policy and
Practices, Industry Partnerships, and Acquisition Workforce.
The Policy and Practice Subcommittee will focus on procurement
policy that supports robust climate and sustainability action. This
group will focus on regulatory, policy, and process changes required to
embed climate and sustainability considerations in Federal
acquisitions.
The Industry Partnerships Subcommittee will investigate ways to
expand a climate focus on Federal acquisition while reinforcing
inclusion, domestic sourcing, small business opportunity, and
innovation from an Industry standpoint. This includes identifying and
addressing gaps in sustainable attributes standards for the goods and
services that the Federal government buys.
The Acquisition Workforce Subcommittee will explore ways to advance
a culture of sustainability and climate action within the acquisition
workforce. This includes equipping and enabling the acquisition
workforce to effectively use sustainability as a critical element in
the evaluation and source selection process.
The frequency of meetings for the three subcommittees is every four
weeks to give committee members additional time to reflect on the
information being provided by guest speakers. The previous notice can
be found here: <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/11/06/2023-24432/gsa-acquisition-policy-federal-advisory-committee-notification-of-upcoming-web-based-public-meeting">https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/11/06/2023-24432/gsa-acquisition-policy-federal-advisory-committee-notification-of-upcoming-web-based-public-meeting</a>.
Purpose of the Meetings
The purpose of these web-based meetings is for the subcommittees to

Committee will, in turn, deliberate on the subcommittees
recommendations and decide whether to proceed with formal advice to GSA
based upon them.
