GSA Is Not Effectively Managing Its Internal Space to Reflect Occupancy Changes

We recommend that the Acting GSA Administrator develop and implement a consistent methodology to collect daily occupancy data and implement appropriate controls to ensure that the data produced is consistent, reliable, and accurate.

We recommend that the Acting GSA Administrator improve the management of GSA’s occupancy agreements (OAs). Specifically, GSA should: (1) conduct a comprehensive review of the Occupancy Agreement Space Inventory System (OASIS) and verify and validate that there are no discrepancies in the OA space reporting for GSA-occupied space, (2) develop a process to periodically review and verify that OAs are properly cancelled in OASIS and ensure that all notifications and supporting documents are properly tracked in OASIS in accordance with the space release process, and (3) correct the $520,155.69 of imputed rent for the PBS space in the U.S. Department of the Interior headquarters building that GSA no longer occupies.
