FTS works with agency customers to understand their mission and requirements and to help them choose, acquire, implement, and manage the funding for the best solutions to meet those needs. FTS works closely with every major Federal Government agency--civilian and military--on a reimbursable fee-for-service basis. Services are available through FTS national programs and FTS organizations located in each of the 11 GSA regional offices. Services are offered in three major business lines. The FTS network services business line uses the Government's buying power to obtain telecommunications products and services including global voice, data, and video services, supporting both local (Regional Services Business Unit) and long-distance users (Long Distance Business Unit). Through its contracts, FTS network services offers comprehensive telecommunications at the lowest price available. Both business units assist customer agencies in defining requirements, identifying solutions, ordering services, and managing services, including billing operations. The FTS IT solutions business line provides acquisition, project management, and financial services to assist Federal agencies in identifying, acquiring, deploying, managing, and using technology solutions. It also provides information security services to help agencies protect their data and related information. FTS Client Support Centers (National and Regional IT Solutions) help client agencies identify and acquire solutions to meet their needs through GSA contracts and other governmentwide sources. The FTS professional services business line provides acquisition, project management, and financial services on a cost reimbursable basis to assist Federal agencies in acquiring a broad range of professional services through three specific GSA Multiple Awards Schedules. The schedules include Management Organization and Business Improvement, Logistics, and Professional Engineering Services. FTS manages and operates several governmentwide programs that provide important services to citizens and to the Government. These programs include the Blue Pages, which provides Government listings in telephone books throughout the country, Federal Relay Servicewhich makes TTY services available to the public to communicate [[Page 436]] with Government agencies, and e-Authentication, which supports emerging e-Government projects throughout Federal agencies.

Federal Supply Service The Federal Supply Service (FSS) provides goods and services for the Federal marketplace, providing customers with economical, efficient, and effective service delivery and significant savings in time and administrative costs. By taking advantage of the Government's aggregate buying power, FSS achieves significant savings for both the customer and the taxpayer. The FSS employs world-class business practices and carries out its mission through the following five business lines. The commercial acquisition business line offers Federal agencies millions of commercial products and an extensive range of technology, financial, environmental, management, and administrative services through the Multiple Awards Schedules program and governmentwide acquisition contracts. Agencies make best-value choices among 4 million products and services available from more than 16,500 commercial suppliers under contract to FSS. The supply program provides quick fulfillment of recurring customer needs for basic business and mission supplies by leveraging best practices in supply chain management programs. Fulfillment solutions for supplies include electronic and hard copy catalogs, multiple ordering channels, FSS management of billing and paying transactions, order administration, and customer service support. The supply program is fully complementary to the service and solutions offered through the Commercial Acquisition Multiple Award Schedule program and governmentwide acquisition contracts. The supply distribution system provides critical support to the Government's national defense, disaster relief and other strategic missions stocking emergency readiness items like shovels, batteries, helmets and sandbags. The vehicleacquisition and leasing services business line provides two distinct services. One service, GSA Automotive, manages the acquisition of vehicles for all Federal agencies through consolidated acquisitions and the Multiple Awards Schedules program. The other service is a leasing program, GSA Fleet, which manages a fleet of more than 194,000 vehicles, providing non-tactical vehicles needed by civilian and military customer agencies with a comprehensive leasing program. GSA Fleet handles all aspects of the management of these assets including vehicle acquisition, maintenance and repair, accident management, fuel expenses, resale of used vehicles, and a selection of alternative-fuel vehicles. The travel and transportation business line helps control the Government's direct and administrative costs for travel and transportation services. Travel services include negotiated airline contracts, travel agency, and travel charge card services. Transportation services include the shipment of parcels, freight, and household goods. The business line also oversees the use of audit contractors to examine the Government's air passenger, freight, and household goods transportation billings to identify and seek recovery of incorrect billings and overpayments for the Federal Government. And the personalproperty program provides for property sales through comprehensive cost-effective solutions. Property no longer needed by one Federal agency is entered into an electronic system for screening and use by other Federal agencies, thereby avoiding new procurements. Property with no further Federal use can be screened electronically and is offered at no cost to State and local governments and eligible nonprofit groups. Property whose value cannot be extended by reuse or donation is sold to the public, primarily through online auctions. For more information, contact the Federal Supply Service, Washington, DC 20406.
