What is Transactional Data Reporting
GSA issued a final rule on Transactional Data Reporting (TDR), which was published in the Federal Register on June 23, 2016. TDR will require contractors to electronically report the price paid for GSA Schedule Contract products and services. While TDR will eliminate the need for Commercial Sales Practices (CSP) disclosure and Price Reductions Clause (PRC) tracking, it does bring up additional concerns.
Transactional Data Reporting Requirements
Currently, GSA Schedule Contractors are required to report sales on a quarterly basis. Contracts that are subject to TDR will be required to submit sales data on a monthly basis to the FAS Sales Reporting website, https://tdr.gsa.gov. Sales data can be submitted one of four ways: 1) form entry; 2) file upload; 3) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI); 4) Web Services (API).
TDR requires contractors to report the following data:
- Contract Number
- Order Number or Procurement Instrument Identifier (PIID)
- Non Federal Entity, if applicable
- Description of Deliverable
- Manufacturer Name
- Manufacturer Part Number
- Unit of Measure (each, hour, case, lot, etc.)
- Quantity of Item Sold
- Universal Product Code (UPC), if applicable
- Price Paid per Unit
- Total Price Sold
Transactional Data Reporting Pilot Schedules
A final rule does not necessarily mean TDR will be implemented across all GSA Schedules. A 3-year pilot program will determine TDR’s fate. The pilot will rollout to eight GSA Schedules in phases from August to November. Initial participation in the pilot will be optional for existing Schedule holders.

When & Who Does Transactional Data Reporting Affect?
The chart below details the current release dates for Transactional Data Reporting. If you are pursuing a new GSA Schedule Contract and submit your proposal after the release date for that Schedule, you will be subject to TDR. If you are an existing contractor, you will receive a mass modification on the release date. While you must accept or decline the mass modification, existing contractors are not initially required to accept TDR.
