TDR FILER

The grace period ends 31 December 2026

TDR became mandatory across all MAS SINs on 1 July 2026. GSA is not enforcing during a grace period that runs to 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027 it does.

137 days of grace period left. Next report due: July 2026 data by 30 August 2026.

What changes on 1 January 2027

Nothing about the requirement itself — the clause, the format and the 30-day deadline are the same before and after. What changes is what happens when a month is missing. During the grace period a gap is a gap. After it, it is a compliance record your Contracting Officer acts on, and the instruments are option exercise and contract continuation rather than a fine.

What to do before then

  1. Check which months since July 2026 you have actually filed. The first report was due 30 August 2026.
  2. File the gaps, including any month with no sales.
  3. Set up whatever produces the file so it is not rebuilt by hand each month.
  4. Keep a record of what was filed when.

Back-filing during the grace period is a much smaller conversation than back-filing after it. That is the whole argument for doing this before the year ends.

What it does not mean

It is not a deadline extension, and it is not an amnesty that has been announced as one. The reports are owed for every month from July 2026 onward regardless.
