Contract reporting
The HCaTS contract requires vendors to properly report new task orders awarded against their contract in CPRM.
Contract Payment Reporting Module
Failure to ensure the CAF is appropriately included in all task order solicitation responses and subsequent task order awards, on a separate line item, may lead to contract non-compliance. It is critical to ensure CAF is paid to you by ordering contracting offices, so that you may in turn remit payment to GSA.
Your HCaTS contract requires you to report new task orders awarded against your contract within 30 days in CPRM, and to report invoices each quarter after that. Remittance of CAF billed to, and collected from, your customers in a timely manner through CPRM reporting is required by the contract in Section G.3.1, Contract Access Fee.
You may contact HCaTS@gsa.gov or SBHCaTS@gsa.gov with any questions you have about CPRM or reporting.

Getting on HCaTS
The government does not intend to award any new contracts under the HCaTS program before the ordering period ends. The scope and service areas currently covered by HCaTS will be incorporated into the new OASIS+ program in Fiscal Year 2025.
For more information on OASIS+ please see GSA.gov/OASIS+.
Contractors are encouraged to regularly check the OASIS+ Interact community for updates on the availability of the Human Capital Domains for onramp opportunities.
