By: Stephanie Hagan
August 11th, 2025

More commonly referred to as the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), the Trump Administration plans to take a magnifying glass to FAR regulations and return it to its “statutory roots”. According to an Executive Order (EO) released in April 2025, the new administration plans to modify the FAR so it’s written in plain language and mostly scrubbed of non-statutory rules. This is not the first time a presidential administration has set out to review the FAR in its entirety, but GSA is sure that this time is different with the added support of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) for Beginners

By: Stephanie Hagan
July 25th, 2025

Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) has existed for several years as a pilot program, but not many contractors had to pay much attention to it. Either your Special Item Numbers (SINs) weren’t eligible, or you chose not to opt in, but either way, it wasn’t on your radar. Things are changing now. With GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Refresh #28, many contractors are now required to switch their sales reporting over to Transactional Data Reporting. GSA plans to eventually migrate all contractors over to TDR, so it’s important that everyone knows what TDR is and how to participate when the time comes. In this blog we’ll cover what TDR is, sales reporting with TDR, and how to participate in the program.
