    The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) presented updates on the TTL Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) and the new FAS Catalog Management Platform (FCP) at the QMAAB MAS Team Industry Day. Key updates include the addition of four Special Item Numbers (SINs) eligible for TDR, specifically related to tires and automotive components. Contractors with these SINs are encouraged to participate by submitting a “Participate in TDR” modification. The FCP aims to streamline the process for vendors to manage product details on their GSA contracts, replacing the legacy Schedule Input Program (SIP) and EDI-832 systems. It allows contractors to submit essential information about their products, which will be published on GSA Advantage and eLibrary. The transition to FCP is planned over several years, with all contractors expected to register to manage their product catalogs. In order to utilize FCP, contractors must complete a sequence of steps including eMod requests and managing product files within the platform. Additional resources and user guides are available for support. Overall, the updates emphasize GSA’s efforts to enhance contract management and support for vendors, particularly in data reporting and catalog management processes.
