Transactional Data Reporting

On June 23, 2016, the U.S. General Services Administration published a General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation final rule requiring vendors to report transactional data from orders placed against certain Federal Supply Schedule contracts, Governmentwide Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contracts, and Government-wide Acquisition Contracts. Under the MAS Program, TDR was implemented as an optional pilot under specific Schedules and Special Item Numbers.

If you choose to opt into TDR, you are NOT required to provide Commercial Sales Practices disclosures identifying discounts, terms, and conditions offered to your commercial customers that equal or exceed the discounts, terms, and conditions offered to GSA. Additionally, the requirement to monitor and report price reduction violations through the Price Reductions clause is removed.

Contractors reporting under the TDR rule must report the following line-item data on a monthly basis:

1. Contract/BPA Number
2. Delivery/Task Order Number/Procurement Instrument Identifier
3. Non-federal Entity
4. Description of Deliverable
5. Manufacturer Name
6. Manufacturer Part Number
7. Unit Measure
8. Quantity of Item
9. Universal Product Code
10. Price Paid Per Unit
11. Total Price

For a full list of TDR eligible SINs, please refer to the latest Available Offerings attachment available at MAS Scope and Templates.

The following table outlines the requirements for TDR and non-TDR offers.

Notes for new offerors:

1. If your offer is inclusive of a TDR Pilot SIN, your firm is eligible to participate in the TDR Pilot. If a TDR pilot SIN is included in your offer along with non-TDR SIN(s) and you elect to participate in TDR, then the entire contract will be subject to TDR, and the PRC tracking and CSP disclosure requirements are removed for the entire contract. Participation in the TDR Pilot is voluntary for all offers.
2. Once the offeror selects whether or not to participate in TDR and the choice is entered within the eOffer system, the decision is final and cannot be changed in the eOffer system.
3. In the event that an offeror elects to participate in the TDR pilot, but no TDR-eligible SINs are identified during offer evaluation, then the offer will either be rejected or withdrawn. A contract cannot be awarded under TDR without at least one TDR-eligible SIN.

Notes for existing contractors submitting follow-on offers:

1. If an existing contractor submits an offer for a follow-on contract, the contractor will be given the opportunity to elect whether to participate in TDR when the new offer is created in eOffer. Contractors who intend to hold “dual” contracts (i.e., leave the existing contract open until it expires and also have a new Consolidated contract) must have the same TDR status for both contracts.
2. If the contractor intends to have the existing contract canceled immediately upon award of the follow-on contract, the contractor may elect to change its TDR participation upon submission of the new offer. In cases where the contractor has changed its TDR participation in its new offer, the GSA offer evaluator will presume that it is the contractor’s intent to have the existing contract be canceled immediately upon award of the new contract, and will cancel that contract accordingly.
