As a GSA Schedule contractor, you already know there are a few pre-requisites that you need to follow before you can begin preparing your GSA Schedule proposal that continues throughout the duration of your contract. One of the qualifications is to make sure you are complying with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA).
WHAT IS TAA?
TAA compliance is important for any company seeking business with U.S. government via GSA Schedules. In order to maintain TAA compliance with a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, a GSA reseller must agree the “final product” sold has been “substantially transformed” in the United States or in a signatory country designated by the TAA, throughout the entirety of your contract term.

One of principal features of the Act is that it limits the U.S. Government procurement to or products made in designated countries. Such products are called then “TAA compliant”.
