The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) is the enabling statute that implements numerous multilateral and bilateral international trade agreements and other trade initiatives. The TAA applies to all GSA Schedule contracts unless otherwise stated in the solicitation or contract. The TAA limits the country of origin for products sold through your Schedule contract, in general, this means the following may be sold:

• If you have negotiated prompt payment discounts into your contract, you are required to provide this information on invoices for orders under this contract.
• It should be noted that any negotiated prompt payment discounts do not apply to purchases made with the SmartPay 2 credit card (government purchase card).
   

Each GSA Schedule contract has invoicing requirements included in the contract. The invoicing requirements for most GSA Schedule contracts can be found under contract clause GSAM 552.212-4 (Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items). Contractors should clearly identify open market items to their customers if such items are procured in combination with GSA contract items.

Open Market items are also known as:

• Incidental Items
• Non-Contract Items
• Non-Schedule Items
• Other Direct Costs (ODCs)
• Reimbursable Travel Costs

Schedule contractors should not include the value of open market sales when entering sales in the FAS Sales Reporting Portal, only the total sales of contract items.
 

What is "Scope"?
 

You must ask yourself, "Do the services or products that I’m providing fall within the descriptions of the Special Item Numbers (SINs) that I was awarded, and is the service or product authorized under my contract?."
