SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Government Accountability Office (GAO), 
in its report GAO-15-41: Strategic Focus Needed to Help Manage Vast and 
Diverse Warehouse Portfolio (November 12, 2014), found that the Federal 
Real Property Profile database contains inconsistent warehouse data and 
agencies face a wide range of challenges in acquiring, managing and 
disposing of warehouse space. GSA developed a corrective action plan 
committing to research best practices in warehouse and inventory 
management and publish lessons learned through a notice in the Federal 
Register.
