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.

Could you elaborate on what you mean? Are you asking about an American agency? There isn't an agency with that name, but several could be the one you're thinking of. The General Service Administration (GSA), founded in 1949, is a basic managerial arm of the US federal government, which provides logistical (facilities, communications) support and budget information to other agencies. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), founded in 1979, is essentially the human resources department of the civilian federal government; in charge of recruiting, training, paying, and setting many standards for civil servants. OPM also does much of the work regarding the issuance of security clearances. You might also be thinking of any number of the New Deal "alphabet agencies" which were set up to employ Americans in public works projects during the Great Depression. These include the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and the Federal Works Administration (FWA), to name but a few.
