Katy Kale Acting Administrator GSA
Katy Kale, acting administrator of the General Services Administration and 2021 Wash100 Award recipient, and Sonny Hashmi, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service and fellow 2021 Wash100 Award winner, talked about the current administration’s four priorities and the future of ongoing programs.
Hashmi and Kale said GSA will play a key role in the administration’s priorities of managing the COVID-19 pandemic, advancing economic recovery, addressing the climate crisis and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
“And, as it turns out, FAS has an incredibly integral role to play in all four of them,” Hashmi said. “One of our key focus areas right now is to make sure that we're maximizing the buying power of the federal government to bring to bear and moving the needle on all those priorities.”
The two GSA leaders also shared their insights on the future of Technology Transformation Services, the transition from DUNS numbers to unique identity identifier, migration of procurement tools to the beta SAM website, the impact of the SolarWinds breach on the agency’s programs and federal acquisitions and status of e-commerce pilots.
They also discussed the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and how it correlates with the Department of Defense’s sonny hashmi current admin priorities fedrcmmc programs
