A recent internal document reveals that thirteen top executives at the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) are resigning, coinciding with anticipated layoffs at the General Services Administration (GSA). Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum acknowledged their contributions and expressed gratitude in his message to staff. GSA is also seeking voluntary early retirements as a strategy to reduce its workforce. Among the changes, acting assistant commissioners were announced, primarily composed of career staff. Additionally, associates of Elon Musk are reportedly now part of GSA, emphasizing a significant shift in agency leadership and direction.
To those that are departing, on behalf of everyone in FAS, your contributions are appreciated and we thank you for your service," FAS Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum wrote in the message, which Government Executive obtained on Friday afternoon.
A GSA spokesperson provided the following statement to Government Executive: "When FAS Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum notified Federal Acquisition Service employees about internal personnel changes, he wanted to be respectful of departing leaders and welcoming of new leadership.
The departures at the entity, which handles the government's purchasing programs, come as its parent agency - the General Services Administration - plans for layoffs.
Several associates of Elon Musk are now working at GSA. The centibillionaire is leading the Trump administration's effort to shrink the federal workforce.
