The information being collected is tied to the aforementioned GSAR clauses (see Supplement 1 for a copy of each of these regulations). These GSAR clauses apply to GSA contracts (i.e., both FSS contractors and non-FSS contractors) whose contracts are subject to TDR requirements.
Currently, within GSAâs FSS program TDR requirements only apply to a subset of categories/SINs (see Supplement 1 for a list of categories/SINs) and offerors and existing FSS contractors opt to participate in the TDR program. By deciding to participate in the TDR program, FSS contractors are subject to different requirements than offerors/FSS contractors not subject to TDR requirements. These different requirements are covered via the following clauss: Alternate I of 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting; Alternate I of 552.238-81, Price Reductions; and Deviation II of 552.216-70, Economic Price AdjustmentâFSS Multiple Award Schedule Contracts
For purposes of non-FSS contracts, the inclusion of the GSAR clause 552.216-75, Transactional Data Reporting, is currently non-mandatory (see GSAR 516.506). The primary GSAR clauses that are the basis for the TDR program are: 552.216-75, Transactional Data Reporting, and Alternate I of 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting. Both of these two clauses include the requirements for the submission of TDR information from a contractor as part of contract performance.
The information collected is used by GSA in a variety of ways (e.g., data analysis, making acquisition decisions, supporting market research and price analysis). Contracting officers also use some of the data in relation to contract performance activities (e.g., processing price reduction requests). Some of the information collected is also made available for use by authorized personnel to support category management as well as other acquisition actions. For example, the transactional data collected under this information collection can be used by category managers to analyze consumption patterns, evaluate and compare purchasing channels, therefore leading to more optimal acquisitions that make better use of taxpayer dollars.
An updated estimated # of respondents per year was used for GSAR clauses 552.216-75, Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.238-80, and 552.238-83. The change in the numbers for each of these clauses can be attributed to GSA using more recent data and the anticipated expansion of the TDR program. If the TDR program is expanded then additional contracts would be covered by TDR requirements; therefore resulting in an increase in burden. In addition, burden was included within this information collection for Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.238-81. In this case, though this clause was covered previously within this information collection no burden was associated with the clause.
