GSA begins layoffs at TTS amid sweeping cuts to federal tech services

GSA has initiated a new round of layoffs at its Technology Transformation Services (TTS) division, marking the most significant workforce reduction in the agency’s tech arm since the Trump administration took office.

According to an internal email from TTS Director Thomas Shedd reviewed by Nextgov/FCW, affected staff began receiving reduction in force notices on 10 April. The layoffs impact multiple TTS components, including the Office of the Integrated Award Environment, the Office of Regulatory and Oversight Systems, and several teams within the Office of Solutions—among them the public experience, platforms and services, front office, and accelerators groups.

The cuts follow earlier warnings in March that TTS would lose up to 50 percent of its workforce. As reported by Federal News Network, the broader Trump-era downsizing strategy includes halving the GSA’s overall budget. Already, probationary employees have been dismissed, and the agency’s tech consultancy unit, 18F, has been disbanded.

While GSA leadership says core programs such as Login.gov, FedRAMP, and Cloud.gov will remain operational, current staff warn that the downsizing will have ripple effects across government. “If you cut 100 TTSers, it delays or deletes service delivery for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of citizens,” one employee told Nextgov, speaking anonymously.
