Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) is becoming an increasingly important acronym to remember in the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program. Now the TDR Program is becoming mandatory for all GSA MAS contractors, many prospective and current contractors are shifting gears from the legacy Commercial Sales Practices to learn how to navigate TDR. With that information, you may be asking: what is TDR? How do I transition over? What are the requirements for TDR? These are all valid questions, and we get them a lot when it comes to reporting GSA sales. Let's cover everything you need to know about Transactional Data Reporting.

Now that OASIS+ Phase II is out, professional services contractors are getting ready to hit the ground running with their proposals. But what many companies may not take the time to do before they get too far in the process, is to make sure they meet the proposal requirements.

Any qualifying proposal will receive an award with their respective contract, but they must meet the credit minimum and match all the requirements. In this blog, we’ll outline the basics of the OASIS+ Phase II scorecard, and what requirements you need to meet before you begin your proposal.

Some contractors may also be wondering if OASIS+ will eventually merge with MAS and if it’s worth the proposal effort.
