GSA Eliminates 18F


The latest workforce action at the General Services Administration includes the elimination of an entire tech team of around 90 employees.

The General Services Administration deleted 18F, a government tech consultancy that helps other agencies with their technology, early Saturday morning. Other examples of the team’s work include the redesign of a website at the Justice Department on a key disability civil rights law, ada.gov. Shedd told employees that the decision aligns both with executive orders from the White House, including one directing widespread layoffs across the government, and “the recent memo from GSA per the Trump administration requiring the cutting of ‘non-essential consulting’ functions.”
