1. Purpose.

• This Supplement cancels several acquisition policies as part of GSA’s on-going efforts to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 14275,  Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement.
• The cancellations are a result of our ongoing comprehensive overhaul of GSA’s acquisition supplement (Wave 2).

2.    Background. E.O. 14275 mandates the most agile, effective, and efficient procurement system possible. In support of GSA’s on-going efforts to implement the E.O., GSA has identified additional acquisition policies that can be canceled. The cancellation of these policies further promotes expedited and streamlined acquisitions. As GSA continues reviewing its acquisition regulations and policies, further streamlining is anticipated.

3.    Effective Date. This AL is effective immediately, subject to FAS implementation requirements described herein.

4.    Summary of Changes.

a.    Multiple policies are canceled, specifically three ALs and seven Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) policies. See Attachment A of this AL for details.
b.    Six class deviations are rescinded. See Attachment A of this AL for details.
c.    Four FAS FSS provisions are removed; three FAS FSS clauses are revised; and several FAS FSS clauses and one provision that are currently essential to the FSS program are retained. See Attachment B of this AL for details.

Page 1 of 2

d.    The General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) is amended to revise procedures and clauses supporting the FSS program. These amendments are issued as a class deviation under the authority of GSAM 501.404. These amendments remain in effect until replaced, rescinded or incorporated into the GSAM. See Attachments C and D of this AL for details.

5.    Point of Contact. Questions regarding this AL and CD may be directed to the GSA Acquisition Policy Division at GSARPolicy@gsa.gov. Questions regarding the FAS policies canceled and the implementation of this AL and CD may be directed to the FAS Office of Policy and Compliance at fasofficeofpolicyandcompliance@gsa.gov.

1.    Purpose. As provided by Section 4.d of Acquisition Letter (AL) MV-2026-01, this class deviation provides deviations from regulatory and non-regulatory language in the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM). Attachment D of this AL provides the amendatory Line-In/Line-out text, both regulatory and non-regulatory, to the GSAM.

The GSAM amendments-

• Are based on GSAM Baseline: Change 199 effective 05/26/2025;
• Adopt for the most part changes described in CD-2025-13; and
• Further modify 538.270-2 and 538.271.

2.    Authority. This class deviation is issued by the SPE under the authority provided at GSAM 501.404.

3.    Applicability. This class deviation applies to the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) solicitation and contracts. This class deviation does not apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) FSS solicitations or contracts¹. 

4.    Instruction. The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) may implement these amendments in phases to the FSS solicitation and contracts. Until such time FAS has fully implemented these amendments, FAS may continue to use-

• The GSAM policies and procedures removed by this deviation;
• The GSAR clauses removed by this deviation in the FSS solicitation and existing contracts; and
• The unamended versions of the GSAR clauses amended by this deviation in the FSS solicitation and existing contracts.

5.    Description of amendments to the GSAM. The following is a description of the amendments to the GSAM:

Attachment C of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

GSA Class Deviation CD-2026-02 

a.    501.670 is amended to remove the reference to Alternate I of clause 552.238-80 in paragraph (b) because Alternate I of this clause is being removed as a result of the amendments to this clause.

b.    507.103(b)(4) is revised to remove the text “Alternate I” in reference to 552.238-80 because the Alternate of this clause no longer exists as a result of the amendments to this clause.

c.    515.408 is removed in its entirety because it is tied to CSP requirements that will not be applicable when TDR is mandated across all FSS Categories/SINS. However, other parts of this section that are not specific to CSP may be moved to the FSS solicitation or captured in a future revision to the GSAM or future update to the FSS solicitation.

d.    538.270-1 is removed and marked as “reserved” as it prescribes requirements that will not be applicable when TDR is mandated across all FSS Categories/SINs.

e.    538.270-2 is revised in its entirety to reflect an updated price evaluation process that is conducted with access to TDR data. The revision directs contracting officers to use FAS resources and tools when determining a fair and reasonable price, and to use FAS templates and procedures when documenting that determination.

f.    538.271 is removed and marked as “reserved” because the substance of this section is either already covered by the FAR or updated and incorporated in 538.270-2.

g.    538.272 is removed and marked as “reserved” as it prescribes requirements that will not be applicable when TDR is mandated across all FSS Categories/SINs.

h.    538.273(d) is amended to-

      (i). Remove the prescriptions for the alternates for the following clauses at subparagraphs (4), (5), and (6) respectively -
      552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting;
      552.238-81, Price Reductions; and
      552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedules).

These amendments reflect that a prescription is no longer needed to account for TDR as an “alternate” to CSP and PRC because TDR is becoming mandatory, resulting in removal of CSP and PRC requirements from the FSS program.

Page 2 of 3

Attachment C of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

GSA Class Deviation CD-2026-02 

   (ii). Add text to the prescription for 552.238-80 at subparagraph (4) to refer to 507.103(b)(4), which prescribes the process for adding additional TDR elements. 

   (iii). Revise the prescription for 552.238-117 at subparagraph (39). This revision retains the Government’s rights related to a FSS contractor’s contract pricing. 

i. 552.2 is amended to—

   (i). Revise 552.238-80 by substituting the substance of Alternate I in the basic clause, and removing the Alternate.

   (ii). Revise in its entirety 552.238-81.

   (iii). Remove Alternate I of 552.238-81 due to the revisions made to the clause. The substance of Alternate I has been incorporated into paragraph (a) and (b) of the revised 552.238-81.

   (iv). Revise in its entirety 552.238-82.

   (v). Remove Alternate I and II of 552.238-82 due to the revisions made to the clause. The substance of Alternate I has been incorporated into paragraph (e) of the revised 552.238-82. The substance of Alternate II has been incorporated into paragraph (b) of the revised 552.238-82.  These amendments reflect TDR becoming mandatory, resulting in removal of CSP and PRC requirements from the FSS program.

   (vi). Revise 552.238-117 by replacing the text “538.273(d)(37)” with “538.273(d)(39)” to accurately reflect the location of the prescription for this clause.

   (b)  When the contract contains the basic clause 552.238-80 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting, insert the following format for commercial sales practices in the exhibits or attachments section of the solicitation and resulting contract (see FAR 12.303).

COMMERCIAL SALES PRACTICES FORMAT

Name of Offeror ______________________________  SIN(s) ___________________________________

NOTE: Provide the following information for each SIN (or group of SINs or Sub SIN for which information is the same).

(1) Provide the dollar value of sales to the general public at or based on an established catalog or market price during the previous 12-month period or the offerors last fiscal year: $____________. State beginning and ending of the 12 month period. Beginning ____________ ending ______________. In the event that a dollar value is not an appropriate measure of the sales, provide and describe your own measure of the sales of the item(s).

(2) Show your total projected annual sales to the Government under this contract for the contract term, excluding options, for each SIN offered. If you currently hold a Federal Supply Schedule contract for the SIN the total projected annual sales should be based on your most recent 12months of sales under that contract.

SIN _____________________________________ $ _______________________________

SIN _____________________________________ $ _______________________________

SIN _____________________________________ $ _______________________________

(3) Based on your written discounting policies (standard commercial sales practices in the event you do not have written discounting policies), are the discounts and any concessions which you offer the Government equal to or better than your best price (discount and concessions in any combination) offered to any customer acquiring the same items regardless of quantity or terms and conditions? YES_____ NO_____

(4) (a) Based on your written discounting policies (standard commercial sales practices in the event you do not have written discounting policies), provide information as requested for each SIN (or group of SINs for which the information is the same) in accordance with the instructions at Figure 515.4, which is provided in this solicitation for your convenience. The information should be provided in the chart below or in an equivalent format developed by the offeror. Rows should be added to accommodate as many customers as required.

Page 3 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

(b) Do any deviations from your written policies or standard commercial sales practices disclosed in the above chart ever result in better discounts (lower prices) or concessions than indicated? YES_____NO_____. If YES, explain deviations in accordance with the instructions at Figure 515.4, which is provided in this solicitation for your convenience.

(5) If you are a dealer/reseller without significant sales to the general public, you should provide manufacturers’ information required by paragraphs(1) through (4) above for each item/SIN offered, if the manufacturer’s sales under any resulting contract are expected to exceed $500,000. You must also obtain written authorization from the manufacturer(s) for Government access, at any time before award or before agreeing to a modification, to the manufacturer’s sales records for the purpose of verifying the information submitted by the manufacturer. The information is required in order to enable the Government to make a determination that the offered price is fair and reasonable. To expedite the review and processing of offers, you should advise the manufacturer(s) of this requirement. The contracting officer may require the information be submitted on electronic media with commercially available spreadsheet(s). The information may be provided by the manufacturer directly to the Government. If the manufacturer’s item(s) is being offered by multiple dealers/resellers, only one copy of the requested information should be submitted to the Government. In addition, you must submit the following information along with a listing of contact information regarding each of the manufacturers whose products and/or services are included in the offer (include the manufacturer’s name, address, the manufacturer’s contact point, telephone number, and FAX number) for each model offered by SIN:

(a) Manufacturer’s Name.
(b) Manufacturer’s Part Number.
(c) Dealer’s/Reseller’s Part Number.
(d) Product Description.
(e) Manufacturer’s List Price.
(f) Dealer’s/Reseller’s percentage discount from list price or net prices.

(End of Format)

   (c) When the contract contains the basic clause 552.238-80 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting, include the instructions for completing the commercial sales practices format in Figure 515.4-2 in solicitations issued under the MAS program. Offerors are not required to complete the commercial sales practices disclosure for order-level materials (See subpart  538.72).

Figure 515.4 Instructions for Commercial Sales Practices Format

Page 4 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

If you responded “yes” to question (3), on the Commercial Sales Practices Format in paragraph (b) of this section, complete the chart in question (4)(a) for the customer(s) who receive your best discount. If you responded “no”, complete the chart in question (4)(a) showing your written policies or standard sales practices for all customers or customer categories to whom you sell at a price (discounts and concessions in combination) that is equal to or better than the price(s) offered to the Government under this solicitation or with which the Offeror has a current agreement to sell at a discount which equals or exceeds the discount(s) offered under this solicitation. Such agreement shall be in effect on the date the offer is submitted or contain an effective date during the proposed multiple award schedule contract period. If your offer is lower than your price to other customers or customers categories, you will be aligned with the customer or category of customer that receives your best price for purposes of the Price Reductions clause at 552.238-81. The Government expects you to provide information required by the format in accordance with these instructions that is, to the best of your knowledge and belief, current, accurate, and complete as of 14 calendar days prior to its submission. You must also disclose any changes in your price list(s), discounts and/or discounting policies which occur after the offer is submitted, but before the close of negotiations. If your discount practices vary by model or product line, the discount information should be by model or product line as appropriate. You may limit the number of models or product lines reported to those which exceed 75% of actual historical Government sales (commercial sales may be substituted if Government sales are unavailable) value of the special item number (SIN).

Column 1—Identify the Applicable Customer or Category of Customer

A “customer” is any entity, except the Federal Government, which acquires supplies or services from the Offeror. The term customer includes, but is not limited to original equipment manufacturers, value added resellers, state and local Governments, distributors, educational institutions (an elementary, junior high, or degree granting school which maintains a regular faculty and established curriculum and an organized body of students), dealers, national accounts, and end users. In any instance where the Offeror is asked to disclose information for a customer, the Offeror may disclose information by category of customer if the Offeror’s discount policies or practices are the same for all customers in the category. (Use a separate line for each customer or category of customer.)

Column 2—Identify the Discount

Indicate the best discount (based on your written discounting policies or standard commercial discounting practices if you do not have written discounting policies) at which you sell to the customer or category of customer identified in column 1, without regard to quantity; terms and conditions of the agreements under which the discounts are given; and whether the agreements are written or oral. Net prices or discounts off of other price lists should be expressed as percentage discounts from the price list which 

Page 5 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

is the basis of your offer. If the discount disclosed is a combination of various discounts (prompt payment, quantity, etc.), the percentage should be broken out for each type of discount. If the price lists which are the basis of the discounts given to the customers identified in the chart are different than the price list submitted upon which your offer is based, identify the type or title and date of each price list. The contracting officer may require submission of these price lists. To expedite evaluation, offerors may provide these price lists at the time of submission.

Column 3—Identify the Quantity or Volume of Sales

Insert the minimum quantity or sales volume which the identified customer or category of customer must either purchase/order, per order or within a specified period, to earn a discount indicate the time period.

Column 4—Indicate the FOB Delivery Term for Each Identified Customer

See FAR 47.3 for an explanation of FOB delivery terms.

Column 5—Indicate Concessions Regardless of Quantity Granted to the Identified Customer or Category of Customer

Concessions are defined in solicitation clause 552.12-70, Preparation of Offers (Multiple Award Schedule). If the space provided is inadequate, the disclosure should be made on a separate sheet by reference.

If you respond “yes” to question 4(b) in the Commercial Sales Practices Format, provide an explanation of the circumstances under which you deviate from your written policies or standard commercial sales practices disclosed in the chart on the Commercial Sales Practices Format and explain how often they occur. Your explanation should include a discussion of situations that lead to deviations from standard practice, an explanation of how often they occur, and the controls you employ to assure the integrity of your pricing. Examples of typical deviations may include, but are not limited to, one time goodwill discounts to charity organizations or to compensate an otherwise disgruntled customer; a limited sale of obsolete or damaged goods; the sale of sample goods to a new customer, or the sales of prototype goods for testing purposes.

If deviations from your written policies or standard commercial sales practices disclosed in the chart on the Commercial Sales Practices Format are so significant and/or frequent that the Contracting Officer cannot establish whether the price(s) offered is fair and reasonable, then you may be asked to provide additional information. The Contracting Officer may ask for information to demonstrate that you have made substantial sales of the item(s) in the commercial market consistent with the information reflected on the chart on the Commercial Sales Practices Format, a description of the conditions surrounding those sales deviations, or other information that may be necessary in order for the Contracting Officer to determine whether your offered price(s) 

Page 6 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

is fair and reasonable. In cases where additional information is requested the Contracting Officer will target the request in order to limit the submission of data to that needed to establish the reasonableness of the offered price.

(End of Figure)

(d) Use Alternate IV of FAR 52.215-21, Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data—Modifications, to provide for submission of information other than cost or pricing data for MAS contracts. To provide for uniformity in requests under the MAS program, insert the following in paragraph (b) of the clause:
     (1)  Information required by the clause at 552.238-82, Modifications (Multiple Award Schedule).
     (2)  Any additional supporting information requested by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether the price(s) offered is fair and reasonable.
     (3)  By submitting a request for modification, the Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before agreeing to a modification, books, records, documents, papers, and other directly pertinent records to verify the pricing, sales and other data related to the supplies or services proposed in order to determine the reasonableness of price(s). Access does not extend to Contractor’s cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor’s determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

Subpart 538.2 - Establishing and Administering Federal Supply Schedules

*****

538.270 Solicitation, evaluation, and award of Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts. 

*****

538.270-1 (Reserved) Evaluation of offers without access to transactional data.

   (a) Applicability. Utilize this evaluation methodology for negotiating MAS offers when the commercial sales practices format is included in the solicitation (see 515.408).
   (b)  When offerors have commercial catalogs, negotiate concessions from established catalogs, including price and non-price terms and conditions.

Page 7 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

   (c)  The Government will seek to obtain the offeror’s best price (the best price given to the most favored customer). However, the Government recognizes that the terms and conditions of commercial sales vary and there may be legitimate reasons why the best price is not achieved.
   (d)  Establish negotiation objectives based on a review of relevant data and determine price reasonableness.
   (e)  When establishing negotiation objectives and determining price reasonableness, compare the terms and conditions of the MAS solicitation with the terms and conditions of agreements with the offeror’s commercial customers. When determining the Government’s price negotiation objectives, consider the following factors:
       (1)  Aggregate volume of anticipated purchases.
       (2)  The purchase of a minimum quantity or a pattern of historic purchases.
       (3)  Prices taking into consideration any combination of discounts and concessions offered to commercial customers.
       (4)  Length of the contract period.
       (5)  Warranties, training, and/or maintenance included in the purchase price or provided at additional cost to the product prices
       (6)  Ordering and delivery practices.
       (7)  Any other relevant information, including differences between the MAS solicitation and commercial terms and conditions that may warrant differentials between the offer and the discounts offered to the most favored commercial customer(s). For example, an offeror may incur more expense selling to the Government than to the customer who receives the offeror’s best price, or the customer (e.g., dealer, distributor, original equipment manufacturer, other reseller) who receives the best price may perform certain value-added functions for the offeror that the Government does not perform. In such cases, some reduction in the discount given to the Government may be appropriate. If the best price is not offered to the Government, you should ask the offeror to identify and explain the reason for any differences. Do not require offerors to provide detailed cost breakdowns.
   (f)  You may award a contract containing pricing which is less favorable than the best price the offeror extends to any commercial customer for similar purchases if you make a determination that both of the following conditions exist:
       (1)  The prices offered to the Government are fair and reasonable, even though comparable discounts were not negotiated.
       (2)  Award is otherwise in the best interest of the Government.
   (g)  State clearly in the award document the price/discount relationship between the Government and the identified commercial customer (or category of customers) upon which the award is based.

538.270-2 Evaluation of offers with access to transactional data.
   (a) Applicability. Utilize this evaluation methodology for negotiating MAS offers when the commercial sales practices format is not included in the solicitation (see 515.408).
   (b) Contracting Officers shall utilize the techniques in FAR 15.404 when evaluating pricing for MAS offers.

Page 8 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

   (c) Order of preference. When evaluating MAS offers and establishing negotiation objectives, Contracting Officers shall–
       (1) Use the following data that is already readily available in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(ii):
           (i)  Prices paid information on contracts for the same or similar items.
           (ii)  Contract-level prices on other MAS contracts or other government-wide contracts for the same or similar items.
           (iii)  Commercial data sources that consolidate and normalize prices offered by commercial vendors to the general public to compare prices for the same or similar items.
       (2)  If the Contracting Officer cannot determine the prices offered to be fair and reasonable based on the data described in 538.270-2(c)(1), perform market research to compare prices for the same or similar items in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(vi).
      (3)  If the Contracting Officer cannot determine the prices offered to be fair and reasonable based on the data described in 538.270-2(c)(1) or (2), perform an analysis of data other than certified cost or pricing data (as defined at FAR 2.101) provided by the offeror in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(vii).

[In determining a fair and reasonable price, contracting officers are responsible for-
   a) Using the designated pricing resources and tools identified in the FAS Acquisition Policy Library (or successor location) as the first source of information for evaluating pricing. Contracting officers have wide latitude to exercise business judgment when making fair and reasonable price determinations and may rely on designated resources and tools when sufficient information is available. If the information provided by these resources and tools is insufficient, follow the order of preference in FAR 15.403-1 (a). 
   (b) Documenting the determination of fair and reasonable pricing using the templates and procedures identified in the FAS Acquisition Policy Library Template page (https://buy.gsa.gov/fas-policy/opc-templates or successor location).] 

*****

538.271 FSS contract awards. (Reserved)
(a) FSS awards will be for commercial products and commercial services. Negotiate contracts as a discount from established catalog prices.

(b) Before awarding any FSS awards determine that the offered prices are fair and reasonable (see FAR Subpart 15.4 and 538.270). Document the negotiation and your determination using FAR 15.406-3 as guidance.

538.272  (Reserved)MAS price reductions.
   (a) Applicability. This section applies when the contract contains the basic clause 552.238-80 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting.
   (b)  The basic clause and Alternate I of 552.238-81, Price Reductions, requires the contractor to maintain during the contract period the negotiated price/discount relationship (and/or term and condition relationship) between the eligible ordering

Page 9 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

activities and the offeror’s customer or category of customers on which the contract award was predicated (see 538.271). If a change occurs in the contractor’s commercial pricing or discount arrangement applicable to the identified commercial customer (or category of customers) that results in a less advantageous relationship between the eligible ordering activities and this customer or category of customers, the change constitutes a “price reduction.”
   (c)  Ensure that the contractor understands the requirements of section 552.238-81 and agrees to report all price reductions to the Contracting Officer as provided for in the clause.

538.273 FSS solicitation provisions and contract clauses.
   The following clauses and provisions apply to FSS solicitations and contracts, unless otherwise excepted (see 538.001) or as otherwise stated below. For example, if only used in solicitations, the prescription will clearly state this. If the language does not specify “solicitations” then the clause applies to both FSS solicitations and contracts.
***
   (d) Insert the following clauses in FSS solicitations and contracts as an addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services:
       (4) 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting. Use Alternate I for FSS with Transactional Data Reporting requirements. Clause 552.238-81 Alternate I should also be used when vendors agree to include clause 552.238-80 Alternate I in the contract. (See 507.103(b)(4) for the process to add additional transactional data reporting elements to those listed in the clause.)
       (5) 552.238-81, Price Reductions. Use Alternate I for FSS with Transactional Data Reporting requirements. This alternate clause is used when vendors agree to include clause 552.238-80 Alternate I in the contract.
       (6) 552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedules).
           (i) Use Alternate I for FSS that only accept eMod.
           (ii) Use Alternate II for FSS with Transactional Data Reporting requirements. This alternate clause is used when vendors agree to include clause 552.238-80 Alternate I in the contract.

52.238-80 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting.

    As prescribed in 538.273(d)(4) insert the following clause

INDUSTRIAL FUNDING FEE AND SALES REPORTING (JUL 2020)

   (a) Reporting of Federal Supply Schedule Sales. The Contractor shall report all contract sales under this contract as follows:
       (1) The Contractor shall accurately report the dollar value, in U.S. dollars and rounded to the nearest whole dollar, of all sales under this contract by calendar quarter (January 1-March 31, April 1-June 30, July 1-September 30, and October 1-December 31). The dollar value of a sale is the price paid by the Schedule user for products and services on a Schedule task or delivery order. The reported contract sales value shall include the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF). The Contractor shall maintain a consistent accounting method of sales reporting, based on the Contractor’s established commercial accounting practice. The acceptable points at which sales may be reported include–
          (i) Receipt of order;
          (ii) Shipment or delivery, as applicable;
          (iii) Issuance of an invoice; or
          (iv) Payment.
        (2) Contract sales shall be reported to Federal Acquisition Services (FAS) within 30 calendar days following the completion of each reporting quarter. The Contractor shall continue to furnish quarterly reports, including “zero” sales, through physical completion of the last outstanding task order or delivery order of the contract.
       (3) Reportable sales under the contract are those resulting from sales of contract items to authorized users unless the purchase was conducted pursuant to a separate contracting authority such as a Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC); a separately awarded FAR Part 12, FAR Part 13, FAR Part 14, or FAR Part 15 procurement; or a non-FAR contract. Sales made to state and local governments under Cooperative Purchasing authority shall be counted as reportable sales for IFF purposes.
       (4) The Contractor shall electronically report the quarterly dollar value of sales, including “zero” sales, by utilizing the automated reporting system at an Internet website designated by the General Services Administration (GSA)’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS). Prior to using this automated system, the Contractor shall complete contract registration with the FAS Vendor Support Center (VSC). The website address, as well as registration instructions and reporting procedures, will be provided at the time of award. The Contractor shall report sales separately for each National Stock Number (NSN), Special Item Number (SIN), or sub-item.
       (5) The Contractor shall convert the total value of sales made in foreign currency to U.S. dollars using the “Treasury Reporting Rates of Exchange” issued by the U.S. 

Page 11 of 21

Attachment D of Acquisition Letter MV-2026-01

Department of Treasury, Financial Management Service. The Contractor shall use the issue of the Treasury report in effect on the last day of the calendar quarter. The report is available from Financial Management Service, International Funds Branch, Telephone: 202-874-7994, Internet: http://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsreports/rpt/treasRptRateExch/treasRptRateExch_home.htm.
       (b) The Contractor shall remit the IFF at the rate set by GSA’s FAS.
            (1) The Contractor shall remit the IFF to FAS in U.S. dollars within 30 calendar days after the end of the reporting quarter; final payment shall be remitted within 30 days after physical completion of the last outstanding task order or delivery order of the contract.
            (2) The IFF represents a percentage of the total quarterly sales reported. This percentage is set at the discretion of GSA’s FAS. GSA’s FAS has the unilateral right to change the percentage at any time, but not more than once per year. FAS will provide reasonable notice prior to the effective date of the change. The IFF reimburses FAS for the costs of operating the Federal Supply Schedules Program. FAS recoups its operating costs from ordering activities as set forth in 40 U.S.C. 321: Acquisition Services Fund. Net operating revenues generated by the IFF are also applied to fund initiatives benefitting other authorized FAS programs, in accordance with 40 U.S.C. 321. Offerors must include the IFF in their prices. The fee is included in the award price(s) and reflected in the total amount charged to ordering activities. FAS will post notice of the current IFF at https://srp.fas.gsa.gov/ or successor website as appropriate.
       (c) Within 60 days of award, an FAS representative will provide the Contractor with specific written procedural instructions on remitting the IFF. FAS reserves the unilateral right to change such instructions from time to time, following notification to the Contractor.
       (d) Failure to remit the full amount of the IFF within 30 calendar days after the end of the applicable reporting period constitutes a contract debt to the United States Government under the terms of FAR Subpart 32.6. The Government may exercise all rights under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, including withholding or setting off payments and interest on the debt (see FAR clause 52.232-17, Interest). Should the Contractor fail to submit the required sales reports, falsify them, or fail to timely pay the IFF, this is sufficient cause for the Government to terminate the contract for cause.
