GSA Set to Fully Realize Benefits of Transactional Data Reporting

Good things take time and that’s no different when it comes to GSA’s Transactional Data Reporting requirement for its Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program. This month, GSA established TDR as mandatory for all new MAS offerors and existing MAS contract holders via solicitation refresh 31. This action initiates full TDR implementation on MAS.

This marks a major milestone. TDR is bringing government buying into a new era by driving procurement consolidation, helping our acquisition workforce, and ultimately saving taxpayer dollars.

TDR is how GSA gathers data on prices paid for products and services sold through MAS. It also removes the burden of traditional sales reporting and tracking practices for MAS contractors, while enhancing data capabilities to improve service and reduce costs to the government.

This change will also significantly reduce administrative burden for our acquisition workforce. More importantly, it will eliminate many repetitive steps, freeing up employees to focus on more meaningful and impactful work, such as negotiating better prices.

The initial mandatory implementation of TDR began in 2025 with a select number of items, which resulted in $20.2 million in annual cost avoidance. GSA anticipates the total annual cost avoidance will reach $50 million once TDR is fully implemented in the MAS program.

We look forward to working with the vendor community to make this transition as smooth as possible.
