GSA Contract Sales Reporting: How to Submit 72A Reports

GSA 72A Sales Reporting: How to Submit Quarterly Reports

All GSA Schedule contractors must report their Schedule sales quarterly using the 72A Vendor Self-Service (VSS) portal. This reporting funds the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF), which reimburses GSA for operating the Schedule program. Even in quarters with zero sales, you must submit a $0 report. Missing a quarterly report or payment is a compliance violation that can affect your contract standing and visibility on GSA Advantage!.

Accessing the 72A VSS Portal

The 72A system is at 72a.gsa.gov. Access requires your GSA contract number and a login registered for your company. If you are setting up access for the first time, register at the portal and link your contract number. Multiple users can have access — it's recommended to have at least two authorized users in case the primary contact becomes unavailable at reporting time. The portal guides you through entering your quarterly sales figure and calculating the IFF payment.

What Counts as Reportable Sales

Report all sales made to government customers under your GSA Schedule contract number during the quarter. This includes orders placed through GSA Advantage!, eBuy, and direct orders from contracting officers citing your Schedule contract. Do not include: sales under other contract vehicles (even if to the same agency), sales under a separate GWAC or IDIQ, or commercial sales unrelated to your Schedule. If you are on the Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) pilot, your reporting format and requirements differ from standard 72A — review GSA's TDR guidance separately.

Calculating and Remitting IFF

Once you enter your quarterly sales, the 72A portal automatically calculates your IFF: sales × 0.0075. Payment is made through ACH, credit card, or check. ACH electronic payment is the most reliable method and processes immediately. Credit card payments are accepted but may have transaction limits. Build the IFF payment into your cash flow planning — for companies with significant Schedule volume, the quarterly payment can be substantial. For $1 million in quarterly Schedule sales, your IFF is $7,500.

Late Reports and Penalties

GSA tracks 72A submissions and flags late or missing reports. An initial late report typically generates a reminder notice. Continued non-compliance can result in your contract being placed in an "inactive" or "delinquency" status, which reduces your visibility on GSA Advantage! and may result in a Show Cause notice. Correcting delinquency requires submitting all outstanding reports, paying all IFF owed (including any applicable interest), and providing a written explanation of the cause of delinquency to your CO.
