GSA Clarifies the Future of Transactional Data Reporting in the Federal Supply Schedule Program
Client Alert | 1 min read | 04.29.21
On April 27, 2021, the General Services Administration (GSA) announced its intention to not only continue but expand the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) pilot program, based on a third consecutive year of positive results.
Since 2016, GSA’s pilot has studied the potential for TDR to replace the various onerous requirements FSS contractors must currently fulfill to ensure the pricing offered to GSA customers is fair and reasonable, including the obligation to make Commercial Sales Practice disclosures and to track commercial pricing and discounts to the negotiated Basis of Award customer under the Price Reductions Clause. Although the TDR pilot program has been well-received by industry participants, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s silence on the program after extending it through FY2020 raised concern over the future of TDR, particularly in the face of published criticism of the TDR pilot program by the GSA Office of Inspector General. This announcement is therefore welcome news to many existing and future FSS contractors, for whom the future of TDR had been in some doubt over recent months. Contractors interested in TDR should reach out to their FSS contracting officer for additional guidance regarding the program’s planned expansion.

On August 15, 2025, the Treasury Department and IRS released updated guidance concerning Beginning of Construction requirements to qualify for clean energy tax credits. This new guidance is critical for developers to consider as they rush to qualify for the tax credits before they expire entirely. The much-anticipated guidance followed the July 7, 2025 Executive Order 14315, Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources (“July 7, 2025 Executive Order”), which signaled that the Trump Administration was planning to strictly enforce the termination of production and investment tax credits for solar and wind facilities that are set to expire under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act), covered in more detail here. The new guidance comes at a time when many in the industry are struggling to keep up with the myriad ways that the new administration is working to roll back wind and solar tax credits, leaving developers to piece through the recent guidance to determine how best to structure and invest in clean energy projects given the volatile position of the current administration vis-a-vis wind and solar energy.
