According to GSA guidelines, contractors must prepare now for the summer 2026 expansion of Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) across all Special Item Numbers (SINs). This expansion requires MAS holders to deliver item-level transactional sales records, customer and order metadata, and price/discount details in a standardized feed to GSA on a regular cadence. GSA, SBA, and OMB are coordinating oversight and enforcement: GSA enforces TDR submission, the SBA continues to certify small business socioeconomic statuses, and OMB will use TDR outputs for program-level oversight and spending transparency. Per FAR pricing rules, contractors must maintain audit-ready documentation tying TDR data back to contract pricing and commercial sales practices. DoD market signals and CMMC data security expectations also affect data handling because TDR files may contain sensitive recipient or contract metadata. Practically, small businesses must map ERPs, revise CSV/XML export templates, validate taxonomies and NAICS/SIN mappings, and budget for data transformation and secure transfer. The paragraph outlines immediate triage actions: inventory systems, identify vendor partners for ETL and SFTP/HTTPS delivery, and plan 30- to 90-day pilot exchanges with GSA test endpoints.
