📣 **Small Business Compliance Update: U.S. Companies Remain Exempt from BOI Reporting**

FinCEN’s final rule, effective August 14, 2026, makes permanent the exemption for U.S.-formed businesses from beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act.

What does this mean for your business? If your company was formed under U.S. law, you do not need to file an initial BOI report or update or correct a previously filed report. The rule also removes reporting obligations for U.S. company applicants and update requirements for U.S. persons with a FinCEN identifier.

Certain foreign-formed companies registered to do business in the United States remain subject to reporting requirements.

At **S&S Enterprises of Tampa Bay**, we help business owners stay informed and understand how compliance changes affect their operations.

As we begin to work Refresh 33, Refresh 34 is on the horizon and set for release the first week of November. GSA keeps us jumping to keep our clients in compliance with their contracts.

The following was sent to us from a GSA CO/CS (Blessed to have this source):

Be aware that Refresh 33 has been released as has the notice for Refresh 34. Please ensure you have read and accept the change in the system as soon as possible. For ease of reference I am including the updated Vendor guide and Cover letters that were posted to the Modification and mass modification guidance page.

MAS Refresh 33 Key Changes Summary:

Updates to the SCP-FSS-001 Instructions Applicable to All Offerors including:

New provision (GSAR 552.240-70) and clause (GSAR 552.240-71) designed to formalize GSA's current supply chain risk management (SCRM) practices, ensuring greater consistency and transparency.

Expansion of FASt Lane eligibility to the entire solicitation.

Implementation of Class Deviation CD-2026-03, which eliminates the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) exemption previously applicable to Federal Prison Industries, Inc. and AbilityOne Participating Nonprofit Agencies, is applicable.

Implementation of the most recent wage determinations for Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS).

Update to the "General Information" section of each Large Category solicitation attachment to include the following new requirement regarding product substitutions

Product substitutions are prohibited without prior written consent from the buyer. All authorized substitutions must be listed on the MAS contract and priced no higher than the original item, except in cases where the customer explicitly approves a more expensive MAS-listed alternative

Updates to the Facilities, Miscellaneous, Information Technology, and Travel Large Categories.

🚨 GSA MAS REFRESH 33 HAS BEEN PUBLISHED — What Does It Mean for Your Business?

Whether you already hold a GSA MAS contract or are preparing to pursue the Schedule, Refresh 33 brings important changes you need to understand.

Key areas include:

🔹 Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) and changes to traditional CSP/Price Reduction Clause requirements
🔹 Sales reporting and IFF requirements
🔹 Updates affecting pricing and contract modifications
🔹 Updated Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) Wage Determinations
🔹 Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance updates
🔹 Changes affecting resellers and product sourcing
🔹 Category- and SIN-specific updates

📌 Existing MAS Contractors:
Before accepting the Mass Modification, understand which changes apply to your contract and whether your pricing, reporting, labor, sourcing, or internal compliance procedures need to be updated.

📌 Prospective MAS Contractors:
If you're preparing a new MAS offer, Refresh 33 is now your roadmap. Your offer should be developed using the current solicitation, templates, clauses, and SIN requirements—not outdated guidance or documents from an earlier refresh.

⚠️ The requirements aren't one-size-fits-all. Your SINs, products or services, pricing structure, labor categories, and business model determine which changes matter most.

At S&S Enterprises, we help businesses navigate the GSA MAS process from initial readiness and offer development through post-award contract management and compliance.

Already on Schedule—or wondering if GSA MAS is the right next step for your business?

🚨 When does a recurring problem stop being a “small issue” and start becoming a warning sign?

👉 Why does this keep happening?
