What the guide covers

Chapter 1

TDR Fundamentals

What TDR is, why it replaced the Price Reductions Clause, and what GSA does with the data. Covers the legislative authority, the OIG audit findings, and the data-quality problems (GSA OIG has reported that a substantial share of submitted TDR data has been unusable — the guide cites the current OIG report directly).

  • → I-FSS-594 clause requirements
  • → Who must report and when
  • → The 30-day reporting window
  • → What triggers a TDR audit
Chapter 2

The 16 TDR Data Fields

A field-by-field breakdown of all 16 TDR data elements — 12 required and 4 optional — for the Products and Services profiles. Includes accepted formats, common errors, and GSA's validation logic. SIN is Field #1. Note: Country of Origin is a TAA classification used by MAS Pilot for cross-checks, not a TDR field that GSA requires you to report.

  1. 01 · SIN (Special Item Number)
  2. 02 · Contract Number
  3. 03 · Order / Delivery Order Number

  2. 14 · Price Paid per Unit
  3. 15 · Line Item Description detail
  4. 16 · Additional Discount or Concession
This list is a contractor-facing summary; the guide includes the GSA-specified label, accepted format, and validation rule for each field. Field names and optional/required status are as of the guide's publication date and subject to GSA updates via Refresh bulletins.
  • → Products vs. Services profile differences
  • → TAA country-of-origin cross-check (informational, not a TDR field)
  • → Manufacturer Part Number rules
  • → Unit of Measure (UOM) accepted codes
Chapter 3

IFF Calculation & Remittance

The Industrial Funding Fee at the rate in effect (0.75% as of this guide's publication) — how to calculate it correctly, what counts as a qualifying MAS sale, and how to remit quarterly. Includes worked examples for common edge cases. Contractors remain responsible for applying the IFF rate GSA has in effect for the reporting period.

  • → What qualifies as a TDR-reportable sale
  • → IFF calculation walkthrough
  • → Quarterly remittance via Pay.gov
  • → Handling amendments and corrections
  • → Sales threshold monitoring ($100K/$125K)
Chapter 4

SRP Submission Process

Step-by-step walkthrough of submitting to GSA's Sales Reporting Portal. File format requirements, the pipe-delimited template, common rejection codes, and what to do when SRP rejects your file.

  • → SRP file format specifications
  • → Pipe-delimited template with examples
  • → Common SRP rejection error codes
  • → How to submit an amendment
