The General Services Administration will add 62 new products and cloud services special item numbers, or SINS, to Transactional Data Reporting by the end of June to increase transparency into government procurement and product pricing.
The TDR expansion to all SINS will begin in the fiscal year 2026, GSA said, adding that all SIN holders are now required to participate in TDR.
TDR Delivers Market Intelligence
The agency introduced TDR in August 2016 as an optional pilot program designed to allow companies to hold multiple award schedule contracts without the burden of legacy pricing restrictions and provide GSA with critical insight into what the federal government is buying to enable smarter purchasing.
TDR requires participating GSA contractors to submit monthly reports of the prices paid for GSA products and services, along with other transactional data, on a line-item basis. Providing such data exempts contractors from disclosing commercial sales practices, establishing a ‘most favored customer’ or ‘basis of award,’ tracking and maintaining the relationship between GSA pricing and MFC or BOA customer pricing, and complying with the Price Reductions Clause.
“Comprehensive data on purchased items and corresponding prices will empower our contracting officers to negotiate effectively and secure the best value for taxpayer dollars,” said Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, a 2025 Wash100 Award recipient. “Much like our private industry partners, GSA depends on data to make the best decisions about procurement. Transactional Data Reporting will provide the federal government with the critical and essential market intelligence to help aid the government’s effort to create a transparent, optimized and streamlined marketplace for goods and services.”
