More Effective Leasing Procedures

And Practices Could Help GSA Reduce

Delays In Meeting Federal Space Needs



Federal agencies have complained for years
about GSA's delays in providing requested
space. As a way of overcoming the problem,
several agencies have asked the Congress for
leasing authority or have requested a delegation
of authority from GSA.

GAO's review in three GSA regions found that
GSA took longer than its stated goal of 6
months to complete about half of agency re-
quests and longer than 1 year for about 30
percent of the requests. In some instances,
these delays had an adverse effect on agency
operations. There are many reasons for delays
in acquiring space, but a contributing factor,
in most cases, is that GSA cannot obtain ade-
quate funding for Federal construction and
must rely on leasing to meet agencies' space
needs.
GAO is recommending several actions to im-
prove GSA's performance and to reduce delays.
