Winning a GSA contract is not the end of the evaluation process. Your performance continues to matter. 📊🏛️

That is where CPARS - the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System - comes in.

CPARS is used to document contractor performance and can influence how agencies evaluate your company in future federal opportunities.

Performance may be assessed across areas such as:

🔹 Technical quality of products or services
🔹 Cost control
🔹 Schedule and timeliness
🔹 Management and business relationships
🔹 Small business subcontracting
🔹 Compliance with contract terms and other requirements

Ratings can range from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory.

Why does this matter?

A strong CPARS record can become valuable past performance evidence when competing for future contracts, while poor performance can make new opportunities harder to win.

Contractors also have an opportunity to review the evaluation, provide comments, and indicate whether they agree or disagree with the assessment.

The takeaway is simple: contract performance today can affect your federal opportunities tomorrow.

Federal purchasing on GSA Advantage is changing - and total sales tell only part of the story. 📊

Price Reporter has released new analysis from its FY2026 Federal Market Intelligence Report, covering GSA Advantage purchasing activity from October 2023 through June 2026.

One of the clearest shifts happened in FY2025:

🔹 GSA Advantage sales declined 10.95%, from $635.6M to $566.0M
🔹 Unique orders increased 34.8%, reaching 594,298
🔹 Average order value fell from approximately $1,442 to $952

More transactions, but lower total dollar volume.

For GSA contractors, that shift matters. A growing number of smaller orders can create opportunities, but it also puts more pressure on pricing, order processing, fulfillment, payment costs, and operational efficiency.

The data also shows where demand is moving:

📌 The Air Force remained the largest buyer through June 2026
📌 Veterans Affairs grew 16.8% to $48.5M in FY2026 YTD sales
📌 Justice, HHS, Commerce, and Energy also recorded notable growth
📌 Two leading SINs accounted for roughly 42% of sales in the SIN analysis
📌 Technology products dominated the top-selling product rankings

The report also examines agency trends, top-performing SINs and products, monthly purchasing patterns, and the continued importance of federal year-end spending.

For contractors, the takeaway is simple: understanding where demand is growing, how buying behavior is changing, and which categories are driving sales is becoming increasingly important for planning federal growth.

Getting a GSA Schedule can feel overwhelming - especially if federal contracting is new to your business. 🏛️📋

The process involves much more than completing an application. Contractors need to understand eligibility, prepare supporting documentation, meet compliance requirements, register in the appropriate federal systems, and respond correctly throughout the review process.

So, where can businesses turn for help?

🔹 Official GSA resources and training can help you understand the Schedule program and application requirements.
🔹 SAM.gov and federal contracting resources provide essential registration and procurement information.
🔹 Experienced GSA consultants can help structure the application, review documentation, identify potential issues, and guide contractors through the process.

Professional support can be especially useful when a company wants to avoid common mistakes that lead to additional questions, revisions, or resubmissions.

And support does not necessarily end once the contract is awarded.

GSA contractors still need to manage:

✅ Contract compliance
✅ Pricing and modifications
✅ Catalog updates
✅ Communications with GSA
✅ Contract maintenance
✅ Federal market opportunities

Getting on Schedule is an important milestone - but maintaining and using the contract effectively is just as important.

Want to compete for U.S. military contracts? The opportunity extends far beyond defense equipment. 🛡️🏛️

The Department of Defense, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and National Guard purchase a wide range of products and services - from office supplies and furniture to professional services and operational support.

For businesses considering this market, the process starts well before submitting a bid.

Key steps include:

🔹 Identify the right NAICS and Product Service Codes (PSC)
🔹 Determine whether your business qualifies for a socioeconomic contracting category
🔹 Register your entity in SAM.gov and obtain the required identifiers
🔹 Understand applicable federal acquisition requirements, including FAR and DFARS
🔹 Research agency demand and past procurement activity
🔹 Monitor SAM.gov and other federal acquisition platforms for relevant RFQs and RFIs
🔹 Prepare pricing and proposal materials that clearly support your offer

Military contracting also comes with additional compliance and security considerations, so understanding the requirements before pursuing an opportunity is essential.

The key is not simply finding a solicitation - it is finding one your company can realistically perform and submitting a compliant, competitive response.

Still managing GSA orders across disconnected systems, PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets? That can get expensive fast. ⚙️📦

A strong Order Management System (OMS) can help GSA contractors reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and process orders faster.

When evaluating an OMS or ERP, contractors should look beyond the basic feature list.

Key questions include:

🔹 Is the system cloud-based and accessible from anywhere?
🔹 Does it integrate with the portals and vendors you actually use?
🔹 Can it handle order splitting across multiple suppliers?
🔹 Does it support payment processing and shipping integrations?
🔹 Can it centralize quotes, orders, invoices, supplier data, and customer communications?
🔹 Does it provide automated notifications throughout the order lifecycle?
🔹 Can it scale without unpredictable cost increases?
🔹 How much of the order process can be automated?

The biggest advantage is simple: efficiency.

✅ Less repetitive data entry
✅ Fewer manual errors
✅ Faster order fulfillment
✅ Better visibility across sales channels
✅ More consistent customer communication
✅ Easier scaling as order volume grows

For GSA contractors, the right OMS is not just back-office software. It can directly affect fulfillment speed, customer experience, and the ability to manage federal business efficiently.

Price Reporter’s QuickSales was built specifically for GSA contractors and combines order management, automation, supplier connectivity, and federal-market workflows in one system.

Think cybersecurity is just an IT issue? For federal contractors, it can become a contract compliance issue too. 🔐⚠️

Companies doing business with federal agencies may need to meet specific cybersecurity requirements designed to protect government information and contractor systems.

Key frameworks covered in the guide include:

🔹 FAR 52.204-21 - basic safeguarding requirements for covered contractor information systems
🔹 DFARS 252.204-7012 - cybersecurity requirements for certain DoD contractors
🔹 NIST SP 800-171 - requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information
🔹 CMMC 2.0 - the evolving framework used to assess cybersecurity compliance for defense contractors

Cybersecurity compliance can touch much more than passwords and antivirus software.

Contractors may need controls around:

✅ User access and authentication
✅ External system connections
✅ Physical access to infrastructure
✅ Protection against malicious code
✅ Vulnerability monitoring
✅ Incident reporting
✅ Protection of federal contract information

For contractors handling federal information, cybersecurity should be treated as an ongoing part of contract management - not something addressed only after an incident occurs.

Having a GSA Schedule is only the beginning. The next challenge is finding the right federal opportunities. 🔎🏛️

Federal contractors have several key platforms and resources they can use to identify potential business:

🔹 SAM.gov - search current federal contract opportunities by keyword, NAICS code, agency, and other criteria.

🔹 GSA Advantage! - a federal marketplace where agencies can find and purchase products and services from GSA Schedule contractors.

🔹 GSA eBuy - a major source of RFQs and RFPs available to eligible Schedule holders.

🔹 Federal procurement data - historical purchasing information can help contractors understand agency buying patterns, research competitors, and identify potential future demand.

But finding an opportunity is only the first step.

Contractors also need to determine whether the opportunity is actually a good fit, allow enough time to prepare a strong response, maintain competitive pricing, and make sure their GSA catalog and proposal materials are accurate and professional.

A few practical habits can make opportunity development more systematic:

✅ Review new opportunities regularly
✅ Focus on agencies that already buy what you sell
✅ Research past federal purchases and competitors
✅ Invest time in well-prepared proposals
✅ Attend relevant federal contracting events and industry meetings
✅ Maintain your GSA Schedule so you are ready when the right opportunity appears

A GSA contract gives you access to the federal marketplace - but consistent research and active business development are what turn that access into actual sales.

Selling travel, relocation, lodging, or reservation services to the federal government? The GSA Travel category may be worth a closer look. ✈️🏛️

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule includes a dedicated Travel category for companies providing services such as:

🔹 Employee relocation
🔹 Long-term lodging
🔹 Lodging negotiations and management
🔹 Travel agency services
🔹 Ticketing and reservations
🔹 Travel consulting and market research
🔹 Relocation management software

For contractors, the opportunity goes well beyond traditional travel booking.

Federal agencies also purchase support for employee relocation, housing, travel management, consulting, reporting, and related services through the MAS program.

To compete, companies generally need to:

✅ Register in SAM.gov
✅ Prepare and submit a compliant GSA offer
✅ Select the appropriate SINs
✅ Support pricing, financials, past performance, and compliance requirements
✅ Work through negotiations with GSA
✅ Maintain the contract after award and compete for agency opportunities

The application itself is only part of the process. Errors in documentation, pricing, compliance, or past performance can slow down an offer and create unnecessary rework.

For travel and relocation companies looking to expand into federal contracting, understanding the correct MAS structure is the first step.

09/30/2026

GSA has confirmed that the MAS-TDR grace and trial periods continue through the reporting period ending December 31, 2026. ⏳📊

But this is important:

A grace period is a correction window - not a reporting holiday.

Contractors must still:

🔹 Report sales every month, including zero sales
🔹 Complete all applicable mandatory fields
🔹 Pay the correct Industrial Funding Fee on time
🔹 Investigate and correct reporting issues
🔹 Respond to soft flags and improve data quality

For MAS contracts with a TDR effective date on or after October 1, 2025, transition relief remains available through year-end.

⚠️ However, Contracting Officer enforcement may begin with the January 1, 2027 reporting period.

Another key point: late acceptance of the A909 modification does not extend the relief period. Even if a delayed acceptance pushes a contractor’s TDR start date to October 1, 2026 or later, the grace period still ends December 31.

From July 1 through December 31, 2026, the trial period includes several newer reporting fields:

📌 Ship Date
📌 Order Date
📌 Ship-to ZIP Code
📌 Federal Customer
📌 UCID, when applicable
📌 Cloud Service Type for SIN 518210C

Meanwhile, Order Type, Order Discount, and Worksite are not yet available in SRP. Contractors should not create substitute values for fields the system has not implemented.

The practical takeaway?

Use the rest of 2026 to:

✅ validate your reporting data sources
✅ map required fields correctly
✅ review internal accounting and order systems
✅ investigate soft flags
✅ document reporting procedures
✅ fix inconsistencies before enforcement begins

Waiting until January to clean up reporting processes could turn a manageable data issue into a compliance problem. ⚙️
