In 2015, Congress passed the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), which required GSA to put in place enterprise-wide agreements to support federal agencies in their acquisition of software. In 2016, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), further refined this requirement by mandating that GSA stand up at least two governmentwide software agreements annually, aimed at reducing costs and bringing innovative technology to the government through GSA’s IT Schedule 70.

In support of FITARA, GSA is renegotiating IT Schedule 70 contracts and talking with large software publishers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and major resellers.
