The General Services Administration has fully implemented Transaction Data Reporting, or TDR, to expand its use of more accurate and reliable data in federal procurement.
GSA said Monday the initial TDR implementation resulted in annual cost avoidance of $20.2 million.
In June 2025, the agency added 62 new products and cloud services special item numbers to TDR to increase transparency into government procurement and product pricing.
“GSA is committed to executing President Trump’s Executive Order to consolidate procurement,” said GSA Administrator Edward Forst. “This program mirrors what the private sector is already doing, and will lead to smarter purchasing, helping us streamline procurement.”
In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to consolidate federal procurement of goods and services within GSA to remove waste and duplication and enable agencies to focus on their mission of delivering services to citizens.

What Are FAS Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum’s Thoughts on Full TDR Implementation?
“From day one, the Trump Administration has made it clear that government must work better, spend less and deliver real value to the American people,” said Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service.
“Fully implementing TDR will equip our contracting officers with comprehensive data on purchased items and their prices so they can negotiate effectively and serve as uncompromising fiduciaries of taxpayer dollars,” added Gruenbaum, a previous Wash100 awardee.
What Is a TDR in GSA?
TDR is the mechanism GSA uses to collect data on prices paid for products and services sold through the Multiple Award Schedule, or MAS. The data is used by contracting officers to compare prices, support negotiations and inform purchasing decisions.
TDR replaces certain traditional sales reporting and tracking requirements, reducing administrative effort for contractors and making it easier for small businesses to participate in the MAS program.
GSA expects to realize approximately $50 million in total annual cost avoidance once mandatory reporting is fully established across the agency.
