About USAccess

Q: Why is GSA offering the USAccess program? A: GSA is offering the USAccess program to help reduce the costs for participating agencies associated with procuring FIPS 201-compliant equipment, software, and services.

GSA expects to reduce costs by leveraging the collective buying power of the government through a shared-services approach. Using this approach, the program spreads infrastructure costs among all USAccess program shareholders, which in turn reduces the overall price for each individual participant. For the price list and more information on costs associated with the USAccess program, please contact the GSA Managed Services Office.
