I noticed today in a photo of the new acting GSA administrator a new as of
yet undocumented GSA flag in the back ground. It looks like a colored GSA seal
on a brighter blue flag. This release was from GSA, so this is seemingly
official. Is it a new GSA flag? The Flag of the Administrator? I don't know but
here it is the new photo attached and the story linked below. I did a Google
search and did not see another version of this flag out there as of yet.

What actual flag is being used by the U.S. General Services Administration
right now seems up in the air. General Services Administration (GSA) is an
independent agency of the United States government established in 1949 to
help manage and support the basic functioning of federal agencies. GSA
supplies products and communications for U.S. government offices, provides
transportation and office space to federal employees, and develops
government-wide cost-minimizing policies and other management task.

I
have seen that the navy Logo flag with white letters is the General Services
Administration (GSA) in use (see photo of current Administrator Emily Murphy, but one with a full seal seems to be for sale
at flag companies (see the more elaborate seal flag photo with stars and
pyramid.

This photo, from June 2019, shows a different flag: white field, with a
centered blue square and a white GSA logo in the square.

Since the earlier flag was reported as cancelled in 1989, I presume the
current one is from 1989. But there is a photo from
Southwest Texas in August 2015 that shows the
"1973-89" flag in navy color not UN blue being used.

Wikipedia has this image as the GSA Flag 1973-1989.
So after all this confusion I am not exactly which one is being used or several. the
GSA HQ in DC seems to only fly the USA flag outdoors. But then several of the
agencies only use their flags indoors or at events.

One would presume that the logo flag used by the agency administrator would
be the current and official flag.
