GSA spending & allocation signals (built for MAS planning).

This page helps federal contractors interpret “how much is allocated” versus “how much flows through GSA.” Use the slider to explore key signals: PBS/FBF New Obligational Authority (NOA) requests (allocation signal) and FAS business volume (demand / spend-through signal). Then use /industries/ to align your GSA MAS scope, and /news/ to track refreshes, policy, and systems changes.

Spending slider

Pick a signal below, then slide. This tool is meant to help you communicate magnitude (and compare signals) when planning GSA MAS positioning, target agencies, and near-term investment focus.

Tip: Use Industries to align your SIN lane and messaging to where demand is strongest.

How to interpret it

Allocation signals (like PBS/FBF NOA requests) help explain facility-side demand and investment pressure. Demand signals (like FAS business volume) show how much buying flows through GSA acquisition channels.

Allocation vs. demand: why both matter ›
  • Allocation (PBS/FBF NOA request): a budget request signal tied to providing space and building-related services.
  • Demand (FAS business volume): a throughput signal tied to how much agencies buy via GSA solutions.
  • For contractors: allocation can suggest where budgets concentrate; demand can suggest where buying is already active.
What to do with this for MAS planning ›
  • Use /industries/ to map your offer to a clean lane and avoid scope mismatch.
  • Use /news/ to track refreshes, mass mods, and eOffer/eMod changes that cause rework.
  • Keep your labor categories and pricing consistent across every artifact.

How to use this page

This is not an “official” spending dashboard. It’s a planning tool: pick a signal, understand magnitude, and use it to guide which parts of your GSA MAS strategy to invest in first (scope, SIN lane, labor categories, pricing, and evidence).

Best practice: pair Spending with Industries ›
  • Spending tells you magnitude and helps prioritize.
  • Industries helps you align the story (scope, deliverables, labor, and pricing) to a lane that matches how agencies buy.
  • When in doubt: simpler scope + defensible labor + consistent pricing wins.

FAQ

Why is there more than one “GSA spending” number? ›
“GSA spending” can mean budget authority (allocated/requested), or it can mean buying volume flowing through GSA acquisition channels. Both are useful—just for different decisions.
Can I update the slider values later? ›
Yes. Update the DATA object in the script at the bottom (values, max scale, and source links).
