federal initiatives are:

The engineering assets group manages critical federal structures. They leveraged the IO GeoPortal services by creating the PSPC Engineering Assets Portal that enables authorized users to post and share information.
FLIG-Collaboration Portal
The IO GeoPortal services was leveraged to create a module for the management of laboratory information by the Federal Laboratory Inventory Group in order to better enable sharing of equipment and expertise.
