We recommend that the FAS Commissioner cancel the TDR pilot in accordance with FAS Policy and Procedures 2016-11, Transactional Data Reporting – Federal Supply Schedule Program Implementation, Paragraph 8(G), Pilot Cancellation. We recognize that FAS rejected recommendations made in GSA’s Transactional Data Reporting Pilot Is Not Used to Affect Pricing Decisions, Report Number A140143/Q/6/P21002, including that FAS develop and implement an exit strategy for the TDR pilot and transition participating contractors out of the TDR pilot. However, we continue to conclude that the TDR pilot should be canceled. After 6 years, the TDR pilot still has not resulted in a viable pricing methodology that ensures compliance with CICA’s requirement for orders to result in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the government’s needs.
