A GSA Office Management contract can provide government buyers with thousands of products, supplies, and services under the following Office Management subcategories:

Audio Visual Products and Services

GSA houses a one-stop-shop to cater to government buyers’ audio-visual needs. Of course, it makes sense that the government would want to offer the highest quality possible for any audio/visual production they undertake. So, from hand-held camcorders to professional audio and video equipment, GSA provides an extensive selection of professional audio and video equipment, signal data solutions, and recording or reproducing equipment to satisfy their Image Capture needs.

They developed the Universal Electronic Records Management (ERM) Requirements to support agencies in complying with various federal records management statutes and regulations.

Moreover, GSA’s Integrated Workplace Acquisition Center (IWAC) integrated these new requirements into the GSA Schedules. Hence, under the Records Management subcategory, government buyers can opt for any of these services:
