Join Us for Virtual Demos about the Commercial Platforms Program

GSA’s Commercial Platforms program streamlines federal purchase cardholders’ buying processes by providing access to eight commercial online marketplaces that support federal and agency purchasing rules. These platforms offer numerous features to ensure a modern, seamless shopping experience for routine commercial products.

We’re hosting live demonstrations highlighting key features and benefits available to streamline and simplify micro-purchasing through the Commercial Platforms program. The Zoom sessions are held weekly and feature the Commercial Platform program’s awardees. If you miss a session, don’t worry – sessions are recorded and will be made available for later viewing.

These demonstrations are exclusively for government personnel (not for industry partners). If you have questions about this event, please reach out to us at Commercial.Platforms@gsa.gov.
