The IGSA allows us to support installations' procurement efforts upon request of the Army, Navy, or the 63rd Division of the Army Reserve. Installations can request our help in getting the supplies and services they need in the categories of operations supplies, equipment, facility sustainment and repairs, and minor construction.
