Wake-up Call: GSA Launches Requirement for Schedule Contractors to Reaffirm TAA Compliance
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.06.16
Concerned with repeated instances of FOIA requests and congressional inquiries exposing contractors offering products not compliant with the Trade Agreements Act on their Federal Supply Schedule contracts, on May 5, 2016, GSA began notifying several contractors that, within five business days, they would need to provide certification that products offered were TAA-compliant or remove them from their offering. The breadth of this initiative continues to unfold, but it serves as a caution for contractors to reevaluate their supply chain and the manner in which they offer products on their FSS contracts under the complex “substantial transformation” rules for establishing country-of-origin under the TAA.
