What is not a GSA sale?

1. Open market items (i.e. non-contract items/services, other direct costs (ODCs), and travel) are NOT reportable sales. They can be included with contract orders, but must be clearly marked as open market.

Open market items are occasionally required to complete the full scope of an agency’s needs. As a contractor, you may be able to provide those items, even if they are not approved under your GSA contract, provided the ordering activity properly addresses them in the Request for Quote and any subsequent order, and you properly identify them in your quote. 

How to Determine if a Sale is Reportable

MAS contractors are required to report contract sales monthly under the Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) program and quarterly under the traditional Schedule program. Contractors under the TDR program have the option to pay any associated Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) on a monthly basis, but all contractors are required to pay any associated IFF on a quarterly basis. Contract sales must be identified and separated from non-contract sales, both government and non-government. The following sections explain in detail how to determine what is and is not a reportable sale.
