“This is an excellent opportunity for local organizations to save money by acquiring repurposed federal goods,” said Congressman Cuellar. “Innovative programs like these provide a creative way for the federal and local governments to join forces and save tax dollars. I thank the Texas Facilities Commission, U.S. General Services Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration for sharing their expertise on these programs and encourage local governments and organizations to attend this workshop to learn more about non-traditional ways to acquire supplies.”
