Transactional data is generated when a
transaction is made between a buyer and seller and shows details of
transactions at the line-item level, such as descriptions,
quantities, and the prices paid for the items purchased. The
Government is increasingly using this data to gain insight into its
purchasing patterns, allowing it to identify the most efficient
solutions, channels, and sources to meet its mission critical
needs. This data is particularly critical to the Government’s use
of category management, the business practice of buying common
goods and services as an enterprise to eliminate redundancies,
increase efficiency, and deliver more value and savings from
acquisition programs. Moreover, individual buyers benefit from this
data when conducting market research, price analysis, and
negotiations.

contracts that would continue to require legacy sales reporting and
CSP and PRC disclosures was estimated to be 56.8%, which was based
on the percentage of the program’s sales in fiscal year 2015 for
contracts that would not be eligible to participate in the TDR
pilot. ● The ratio of GSA Schedule contracts slated to be included
in the TDR pilot was estimated to account for the remaining
43.2%.
