    The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is promoting the Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) method as part of the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program, shifting from quarterly to monthly sales reporting by contractors. TDR allows for detailed monthly reporting of data elements such as contract numbers, delivery identifiers, product descriptions, prices, and customer ZIP codes. The document outlines eligibility requirements for TDR, specifically highlighting nine Special Item Numbers (SINs) under the Transportation and Logistics Services category that are encouraged for participation. TDR offers several benefits, including no requirements for Commercial Sales Practice disclosures or price reduction monitoring, simplifying the reporting process. Contractors interested in opting into TDR are instructed to submit specific modification requests, and they will transition to new reporting timelines, initiating monthly reporting starting July 2025. Assistance and resources available for contractors include GSA's solicitation and modification guides. Overall, TDR aims to streamline the reporting process for contractors while ensuring compliance and transparency in sales reporting under GSA contracts.
