One of the requirements our clients ask about the most is Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance. This regulation is neither simple nor clean-cut, and can become quite convoluted for some contractors. However, one non-negotiable is the final products you sell through the GSA Schedule must come from a TAA compliant country. This blog provides an in-depth look at which countries are TAA compliant, which ones are not, and explores the significance of these regulations for government contractors.

When it comes to GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) acquisition and post-award maintenance, contractors are often left with questions when they come across Transactional Data Reporting (TDR), wondering what it is and what the impacts on their contract are. Through TDR, contractors are required to report specific details of their sales to the government, including prices paid by government agencies for products and services. This type of reporting is chosen when eligible contractors do not submit Commercial Sales Practices (CSP) with their GSA Schedule offer, or switch over to TDR during the period of performance of their contract.
