15 - PSS TDR Pilot

PSS Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) Pilot

On June 23, 2016, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) published a General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) final rule to capture transactional data on procurements across all of its Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts and Government- wide Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, to include Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs). The TDR Rule requires vendors to electronically report the price the federal government paid for an item or service purchased through contracts covered by TDR.

This solicitation is part of the Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) Pilot. Under the Pilot, you are NOT required to provide Commercial Sales Practices (CSP) disclosures identifying discounts, terms, and conditions offered to your commercial customers that equal or exceed the discounts, terms, and conditions offered to GSA. Additionally, the requirement to monitor price reduction violations through Price Reductions clause tracking is removed. Thus, participation in the TDR Pilot results in a substantial decrease in the paperwork burden for offerors submitting PSS offers inclusive of a TDR Pilot SIN.

The TDR Pilot SINs for Schedule 00CORP are:

871 1 - Strategic Planning for Technology Programs/Activities 871 2 - Concept Development and Requirements Analysis 871 3 - System Design, Engineering and Integration 871 4 - Test and Evaluation 871 5 - Integrated Logistics Support 871 6 - Acquisition and Life Cycle Management 871 7 - Construction Management and Engineering Consulting Services Related to Real Property

The following chart highlights the differences between a TDR Pilot offer and a traditional/non- TDR offer:

FCO00CORP0000C (Refresh #36) 00CORP – Professional Services Schedule (PSS)

Offer is evaluated in accordance with GSAR 538.270-2 Evaluation of offers with access to transactional data Offer is evaluated in accordance with GSAR 538.270-1 Evaluation of offers without access to transactional data

Vendors are required to report information on 11 transactional data elements (see GSAR clause 552.238-74 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting ALTERNATE I) Not Applicable

Notes For New Offerors:

If your PSS offer is inclusive of a TDR Pilot SIN, your firm is ELIGIBLE to participate in the TDR Pilot. If a TDR pilot SIN is included in your offer along with non-TDR SIN(s) and you elect to participate in TDR, then the entire contract will be subject to TDR, and the PRC tracking and CSP disclosure requirements are removed for the entire contract.

As of November 16, 2017, participation in the TDR Pilot is voluntary for all offers already in house.

Once the offeror selects whether or not to participate in TDR and the choice is entered within the eOffer system, the decision is final and cannot be changed in the eOffer system.

In the event that an offeror elects to participate in the TDR pilot, but no TDR-eligible SINs are determined by GSA’s offer evaluator to be acceptable for award, then the offer will either be rejected or withdrawn. A contract cannot be awarded under TDR without at least one TDR-eligible SIN.

Notes For Existing Contractors:

As of November 16, 2017, participation in the TDR Pilot is voluntary for 1) existing contractors who hold a TDR Pilot SIN that are under evaluation for the exercise of a Schedule option period and 2) existing non-TDR contractors wanting to add a TDR Pilot SIN to their contract.

Once a decision is made to participate in the TDR pilot, the contractor must continue to participate in TDR until the end of the pilot. There is no way to “opt out” of TDR after the decision is made to “opt in.”

Notes For Existing Contractors Submitting Follow-On Offers:

If an existing PSS contractor submits an offer for a follow-on contract (i.e., the existing contract is in its final option period and the contractor desires to have a new PSS contract), the contractor will be given the opportunity to elect whether to participate in TDR when the new offer is created in eOffer. Contractors who intend to hold “dual” contracts (i.e., leave the existing contract open until it expires and also have a new PSS contract) must have the same TDR status for both contracts.

If the contractor intends to have the existing PSS contract be cancelled immediately upon award of the follow-on PSS contract, the contractor may elect to change its TDR participation upon submission of the new offer, since there will only be one active PSS contract at a time. In cases where the contractor has changed its TDR participation in its new offer, the GSA offer evaluator will presume that it is the contractor’s intent to have the existing contract be cancelled immediately upon award of the new contract, and will cancel that contract accordingly.
