General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); 
Transactional Data Reporting; Extension of Time for Comments

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy, General Services Administration.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) issued a proposed 
rule on March 4, 2015, amending the General Services Administration 
Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to include clauses that would require 
vendors to report transactional data from orders and prices paid by 
ordering activities. This includes orders placed against both Federal 
Supply Schedule (FSS) contract vehicles and GSA's non-FSS contract 
vehicles--Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) and Government-
wide Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quality (IDIQ) contracts. For FSS 
vehicles, the clause would be introduced in phases, beginning with a 
pilot for select products and commoditized services. The new clause 
will be paired with changes to the basis of award monitoring 
requirement of the existing price reductions clause, resulting in a 
burden reduction for participating FSS contractors. This rulemaking 
does not apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) FSS contract 
holders. The comment period is being extended to provide additional 
time for interested parties to provide comments for GSAR Case 2013-
G504, Transactional Data Reporting, to May 11, 2015.

DATES: For the proposed rule published on March 4, 2015 (80 FR 11619), 
submit comments by May 11, 2015.
