GSA’s Fiscal Year 2020 Transactional Data Reporting Pilot Evaluation Provides an Inaccurate Assessment of the Program

We recommend that the GSA Administrator, FAS Commissioner, and Associate Administrator of the Office of Government-wide Policy address the problems with the TDR data and usage as described in this report within 1 year of report issuance. To do so, GSA should, at a minimum: conduct a comprehensive assessment of all TDR data; verify the accuracy and completeness of all TDR data; implement a verification process to ensure that TDR data is accurate and complete when it is submitted by MAS contractors; require the contractors that are not submitting complete and accurate data to correct their data or suspend their contract; make the data accessible to all MAS contracting personnel; and develop a methodology for pricing using TDR data that will ensure that customer agencies meet the Competition in Contracting Act for orders placed through MAS contracts.
