Creating Green Federal Facilities Will be an Endless Process

A recent article at Government Executive entitled GSA Officials Say They Are Off To A Fast Start On Energy-Efficiency Projects indicates the potential for revenue opportunities for facility maintenance contractors holding GSA schedule 03FAC Facilities Maintenance and Management. An excerpt from the article follows:

Paul Prouty, acting GSA administrator, told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee the agency has begun implementing innovative upgrades to federal facilities, such as installing an energy-efficient, blast resistant double glass enclosure around the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in Portland, OR.

"GSA is also making smaller, more immediate improvements," Prouty testified. "Changes such as installing intelligent lighting systems and replacing flat roofs with greener alternatives can be implemented quickly in hundreds of buildings," he said.

Stimulus funds for green technologies and building improvements offer "an unprecedented and exciting opportunity," Prouty told the panel. He warned, however, that making federal buildings more energy efficient will be an ongoing process. In our view, this process of creating green federal facilities will continue to develop for at least a five year period.

If your company has not yet obtained a GSA schedule, now is the time to act. During this time of stimulus spending, the government will need your products and services. Let the Fedmarket experts assist you in obtaining a schedule and substantially increasing your company's profit margin.
