The GSA announced on June 7, 2012 that they are cutting 8,000 contracts from the GSA Schedule. The GSA is cutting contracts where outdated items are rarely purchased by the federal government (typewriters, photographic equipment, etc). Keeping these schedules open was costing the GSA $24 million dollars annually as each schedule is reported to have cost $3,000 per year. This cost is regardless of whether there was any business activity in those schedules, and there was likely not enough activity to justify keeping them open.
