Since the first round of monthly Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) reports were due on August 30th for newly transitioned contractors, you may still have questions about the reporting process if your contract is new to TDR. Especially if that was your first TDR sales report, and you ran into some issues completing it. GSA uses TDR to collect information on prices paid for products and services sold through the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). The program is designed to increase transparency and support data-driven decision-making in the federal marketplace.

With the release of GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation Refresh #31 earlier this year, Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) is now mandatory for all SINs under MAS. As of July 1, 2026, all MAS contracts are subject to TDR, and all contractors are required to begin reporting sales monthly.

The fourth quarter (Q4) of Fiscal Year 2026 (FY2026) begins July 1st and ends September 30th—are you ready? Q4 is most notably the time when federal agencies look to spend their remaining budgets. Increased activity means greater opportunities for GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract holders, and it’s important to make sure your contract is fully compliant so you don’t miss out on opportunities as the end of the fiscal year approaches.

If you’re a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractor, you’ve probably heard of the FAS Catalog Platform (FCP). The FCP replaces the Schedule Input Program (SIP) and is a web-based application designed for MAS contractors to manage both product and service catalog data. As of April 2026, GSA expanded FCP access to include the remaining eligible Purchase Channel Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). GSA is prioritizing MAS BPAs with product catalogs that publish to GSA Advantage, and a broader rollout is expected over the next one to two years.

Becoming a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract holder gives your business access to contracting opportunities from federal agencies and other entities that are only available to Schedule holders. It also provides the chance to pursue federal opportunities exceeding $51 billion annually. However, the process of obtaining a contract is not an easy one. There are several steps to complete before preparing and submitting your offer.

With the Schedule Input Program (SIP) being obsolete, contractors are needing to become familiar with GSA’s FAS Catalog Platform (FCP). The FCP is a web-based application designed for MAS contractors to manage both product and service catalog data through a more streamlined reporting process. The General Services Administration (GSA) has been requiring Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractors to complete baseline modifications to transition contracts from SIP to the FCP. However, before using FCP functions as a new contractor on the FCP, you will need to update your Seller Profile before beginning the baseline modification. In this blog, we will be reviewing what the Seller Profile is in the FCP and how to navigate it to begin your contract’s transition to the FCP.
