The steps on this page

Adding products to a Schedule contract is not just a catalog upload task. It is a contract-scope and documentation action. The right question is whether the new item clearly fits the awarded structure and can be supported for compliance, pricing, and sourcing before it ever reaches the buyer-facing catalog.

What to verify before you add anything

  • The product fits the awarded SIN and contract scope.
  • Pricing support is ready and consistent with your contract logic.
  • TAA and sourcing documentation are in hand if applicable.
  • The downstream pricelist and catalog update path is coordinated.
