GSA Finally Confirms that Contractors Can Opt Out of Transactional Data Reporting
Client Alert | 1 min read | 08.18.17
On Thursday, the General Services Administration formally announced that starting with the new solicitation refresh (anticipated in October 2017), participation in the Transactional Data Reporting pilot will be voluntary. Significantly, GSA has also announced that contractors that were forced into TDR (for new contract awards, option exercises, or the addition of a TDR-covered SIN) will have a one-time opportunity to opt back out of TDR. While the long-term fate of the TDR approach to pricing (which replaces the requirement for Commercial Sales Practices disclosures and Basis of Award customer tracking) remains uncertain, this announcement suggests that these long-standing approaches will not be completely eliminated any time soon.

CMS Proposes New Payment Policy for IOPOs and HCLs
In keeping with ongoing efforts to intensify regulatory oversight of organ procurement organizations (OPOs) and curtail improper spending within federal health programs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued a proposed rule that would, among other adjustments, align Medicare payment policies for non-renal organs to be consistent with those currently applicable to kidneys. If enacted as drafted, this latest rule could have a direct impact on the financial stability of OPOs and histocompatibility laboratories (HCL) at a time when such organizations face increasing pressure to meet CMS’s new outcome measures — or else face non-renewal or decertification later this year.
