One year into President Donald Trump’s second term, the federal agency responsible for managing government buildings, contracts, and technology says it has delivered tens of billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers.
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced on Tuesday that it has driven more than $60 billion in federal contract savings since January 2025, as part of the agency’s push to shrink the federal real estate footprint in the era of DOGE, cutting red tape for small businesses and rewriting decades-old procurement rules that critics long said fueled waste and inefficiency.
Over the past year, the agency disposed of 90 federal properties, cutting more than 3 million square feet from its portfolio and avoiding an estimated $415 million in repairs and operating costs. Property sales generated an additional $182 million in revenue, while renegotiated leases and portfolio reductions avoided another $730 million in future costs.
GSA officials say they have also identified 45 additional high-cost, underused properties for accelerated sale, moves that could save taxpayers more than $3 billion in repairs and operating expenses if completed.
