No. The U.S. Government's Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sets many types of personnel policies and standards to which federal executive agencies must adhere.

The General Services Administration (GSA) is a centralized purchasing agent that serves most other federal government agencies and departments. For example, GSA's Public Buildings Service is the landlord for the federal government.

GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, among other things, maintains a stable of contractors that provide services in a vast array of areas, such as environmental, public relations and communications, translation and interpretation, energy efficiency, furniture management, certain types of engineering, and many others.

Other federal agencies and departments are not required to use GSA contractors; but many do. The GSA Schedule Contract Program is popular among federal buyers because it offers a streamlined way that a federal program manager can obtain contractor services, compared to traditional procurement methods.
