automated) and by sales categories. GSA
estimates vendors using a manual
system will have average monthly
reporting times ranging from 15 minutes
(0.25 hours) for vendors with $0 sales to
an average of 48 hours for vendors with
monthly sales over $1 million. On the
other hand, GSA projects vendors with
automated systems will have reporting
times of 2 hours per month, irrespective
of monthly sales volume, as a result of
efficiencies achieved through automated
processes. The following table shows
GSA’s projected monthly reporting
times per sales category and system

FSS Burden Estimates: A total of 376
FSS contracts joined the Transactional
Data Reporting pilot in FY 2018,
including 139 newly awarded contracts
and 237 existing contracts that
voluntarily joined the pilot. The initial
setup burden was split between manual
and automated systems, the number of
which was estimated based on the ratio
for all pilot contracts (64% manual,
36% automated). The initial setup
burden for those contracts is illustrated
below:
systems increases with their reported
sales while the reporting burden for
vendors using automated systems
remains constant regardless of the

because it now includes a burden
estimate associated with the basic
version of GSAR clause 552.238–80
Industrial Funding Fee and Sales
Reporting.2 GSA uses this information
to collect the Industrial Funding Fee
and administer the FSS program. This
burden was included under a separate
approved information collection
identified by OMB control number
3090–0121.
GSA’s Federal Supply Schedules,
commonly known as GSA Schedules or
Multiple Award Schedules (MAS), are
Government-wide contracts providing
federal agencies with a simplified
process for acquiring commercial
supplies and services. The FSS program
is the Government’s preeminent
commercial contracting vehicle,
accounting for about 10 percent of all
federal contract dollars with
approximately $33 billion of purchases
made through the program in fiscal year
2018.
GSA establishes the pricing and terms
of each GSA Schedule contract with
commercial vendors. Federal agencies
