Okay boys, play nice. What did I miss today? Looks like message 77767 is deleted. Sorry that it stayed up for awhile, but moderating is not a full-time job for any of us, actually far from it. Been pretty busy at work the last few days so only getting to check in once or twice a day.

Now, as for you never hearing of GSA, you've apparently not done any research on your own or paid attention to the news much. GSA is the primary contractor for the civilian parts of the Federal Government. The military does the majority of their purchasing through DFAS. Many GSA vendors are also DFAS vendors. All vendors and potential vendors to the Federal Government have to register through CCR or Central Contractor Registration, which is the primary database for the Federal Government. This includes both GSA and DFAS vendors.

btw, most states have something similar to the Federal GSA:

Plus, the Fed GSA makes the news occasionally:
