Concessions
The Heartland Region concessions program consists of a variety of food service operations including full service cafeterias, limited menu diners, snack shops and vending services. The full service cafeterias alone serve 20,000 people. The Heartland Region partners with vendors from the state licensing agencies as well as commercial vendors to provide food service for GSA’s customers.
Fire Protection Program
GSA is committed to providing fire protection for the safety of federal workers. GSA hires fire protection consultants when needed, maximizing fire protection expertise when replacing or adding fire protection in a location.
The heartland is currently involved in many fire protection endeavors, including providing fire safety systems in limestone caverns, which many federal agencies are beginning to utilize. These efforts are supported by the Heartland Region’s involvement with the National Fire Protection Association.

The Heartland Region partners with a host of cleaning vendors, including the National Industries for the Severely Handicapped, 8A and other small business and minority-owned vendors.
