“Federal agencies have a unique set of requirements for maintaining information about facility assets, developing asset management plans and budgets, and reporting on real property,” said Jerry Kokos, President and CEO of VFA, Inc. “VFA solutions help federal clients to address those needs, and to optimize asset investments and ensure sound fiscal management. Our recent establishment of a DC area office is an indicator both of our past success in meeting the asset planning and management needs of the federal sector, and of our commitment to continuing to enhance the service we provide to our federal clients.”
