Expansion of TDR SINs: What You Need to Know
The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) is set to release GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation 47QSMD20R0001 - Refresh #22 in August 2024. This refresh brings significant changes, most notably the expansion of the Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) pilot to 67 Special Item Numbers (SINs).
Key Updates to TDR SINs
Expansion of TDR to 67 SINs
The expansion of the TDR pilot program is a critical development in MAS Refresh 22. By including 67 additional SINs in the TDR program, GSA aims to enhance the collection and analysis of transactional data. This data is essential for improving price analysis and market research, ultimately benefiting both vendors and government buyers.
For a complete list of the 67 SINs included in the TDR expansion, please refer to the Draft Significant Changes Attachment for MAS Refresh 22 on the GSA website.
Benefits of the TDR Expansion
The expansion of the TDR program to more SINs will provide several benefits:
More comprehensive data will enable GSA to perform better price analysis and market research.
Vendors will gain access to valuable data that can inform their pricing strategies and competitive positioning.
The TDR program simplifies compliance by eliminating the need for vendors to provide Commercial Sales Practices (CSP) disclosures and track the Price Reduction Clause (PRC). This reduction in administrative burden allows vendors to focus more on their core business activities.
