GSA Seeks Input on Acquisition Regulations, Including the Alphabet Soup of TDR, PRC, and CSP

Client Alert | 1 min read | 05.30.17

In accordance with President Trump’s continuing mandate to streamline federal regulations, GSA is seeking input on its acquisition regulations, policies, and guidance that may be appropriate for repeal, replacement, or modification. GSA is particularly interested in comments on less frequently addressed areas such as evergreen contracting, price adjustments, catalogs, utilities, construction, and facilities. However, GSA is also welcoming comments on bigger ticket items such as the recent Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) rule, the Price Reduction Clause (PRC), and the Commercial Sales Practice (CSP) format.
