Why Choose GSA?
Program Overview
The General Services Administration (GSA) through the Public Buildings Service (PBS) is responsible for promoting the effective
use of federal real property assets. GSA's Office of Real Property Disposal is responsible for managing the
utilization and disposal of Federal excess and surplus real property government-wide. Unless otherwise delegated,
Federal agencies must report excess real property to the GSA for disposal under the Property Act.
With thousands of properties in our portfolio, disposing of underused property is a considerable task.
Working together with partner federal agencies, state and local governments, non-profit organizations,
business groups, and citizens, we have a lasting positive impact on communities by making valuable government
real estate available for numerous public purposes.
These former federal properties can contribute to a community's vitality by providing benefits such as:
- Expanded employment opportunities
- Increased tax base
- Housing for the homeless
- Establishment of educational centers, parks, and open spaces
Properties that are not conveyed to eligible recipients for a public purpose are sold by competitive bid to private individuals.
Unneeded or underused federal property can vary widely in type and value, and may include:
Undeveloped land, Commercial and industrial facilities, Office buildings, Military holdings
Warehouses, and Single-and multi-family residences.
Property may be located in any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories.
