Robomod Process to Remove Non-Compliant Products
FAS runs an automated process several times each year to streamline the removal of non-compliant products from Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts. Non-compliant products are identified by using data from the Verified Products Portal (VPP), wholesalers and trusted distributors. Contractors will receive an SF-30 removing the products from the contract and FAS will remove the product(s) from GSA Advantage.
For guidance using the FAS Catalog Platform (FCP), including a user guide, FAQ, and training videos, please visit catalog.gsa.gov/help.
For contractors looking for more information about the transition to FCP, please visit the Catalog Management section.
The FAS Catalog Platform (FCP) is a web-based application that replaces the outdated desktop-based Schedule Input Program (SIP) and EDI-832 for publishing catalog information to GSA Advantage and eLibrary. The FCP modernizes and enhances the user experience, and provides vendors with an improved system for catalog management.
Catalog transactions containing SINs not awarded to contract will receive the following error message: "Special Item Number [SIN] is Unauthorized for Contract". Visit the Catalog Management Interact page for more details.
