GSA Catalog Management

The Catalog Management team recently briefed members of industry at the National Industries for the Blind (NIB) Distributor Forum. We are sharing our presentation materials with all of you (attached). In this deck you will find updates on the three main components of our work:

• The Authoritative Catalog Repository (ACR)- a modernization to GSA’s “back end” catalog data storage environment that will improve catalog processing time and increase catalog data accessibility
• The Verified Product Portal (VPP)- a new manufacturer facing portal for authoritative product content and supplier authorization information
• The Common Catalog Platform (CCP)- a new web-based, user friendly interface for managing catalogs for GSA workforce and vendors alike that will replace outdated systems such as the Schedule Input Program (SIP)

Feedback from our industry partners is incredibly valuable and we are looking forward to attending the Coalition for Government Procurement's Office/General Products Committee meeting in December.
