Vendor Collaboration - Services

The contract pertains to the DATA Act Section 5 Procurement Pilot aimed at testing the centralization of post-award reporting requirements for contractors subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Specifically, it targets the reduction of contractor burden and costs associated with Davis-Bacon Act reporting, which currently requires frequent submissions to multiple agencies and contracting officers. The pilot’s goal is to establish whether a centralized reporting system can streamline these obligations. The outreach session scheduled for September 13, 2016, at the General Services Administration in Washington, D.C., will update stakeholders on the progress since the last information session, outline the enrollment process for contractors interested in participating, and provide a platform for questions and answers. This initiative is organized by the General Services Administration, specifically GSA Fas Aas Region 11, under NAICS code 541512, and involves collaboration with construction contractor associations. The session will be conducted both in-person and via conference call, ensuring accessibility for various participants. The aim is to inform potential pilot participants about the program's objectives, implementation status, and procedural steps for involvement. The contract supports efforts to improve federal contract reporting efficiency and reduce administrative burdens for service vendors working under federal procurement regulations.
