Where do I go?

What is it?

U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA's) Proving Ground (GPG) Program

Since its inception in 2011, GSA's Proving Ground (GPG) program has evaluated dozens of next-generation building technologies in real-world operational settings, recommending the most promising for deployment within GSA’s real estate portfolio. By discovering best-of-breed innovative technologies early in their development and placing them strategically within federal properties, we help ensure GSA’s leadership position within the commercial building industry and contribute to GSA’s sound investment decisions, which greatly benefit the American taxpayer.
