  "definition": "Under the Reinventing Government initiative launched by President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, GSA was tasked with improving government procurement methods. Under this initiative, GSA's Commercial Products Acquisition Laboratory (CPAL) is developing procedures to allow GSA customers to purchase commercially available items in addition to products based on government specifications. Cleaning products are among the first commercially available items under this reinvention program. Additional GSA reinvention efforts include improving GSA Advantage system, an electronic shopping service available to Federal purchasers over the Internet, and facilitating government use of commercial credit cards, which are intended to streamline procurement and payment schedules.",
