      The GSA’s “Commercial Platforms” initiative is a bold change that could have a big impact on federal buying, according to a new report from the GWU Law School that examines the pros and cons of the approach.

      The e-commerce online marketplaces are expected to have total annual sales in the $6 billion range.
