The panel will also update attendees with (i) a look at GSA’s planned next steps for expansion of its procurement authority across multiple agencies, (ii) a look ahead concerning the increased emphasis on direct GSA contracting, (iii) an objective assessment of GSA’s experience with transactional data reporting (TDR) and its potential impact on GSA OIG audit activity, and (iv) recent developments with VA Federal Supply Schedules concerning disclosure of commercial sales practices and administrative recoveries under the Price Reduction Clause.
DCMA and DCAA audit and investigation priorities will be addressed, and the impact of the FY26 NDAA on the defense industrial base, as well as how these factors influence audit scope and documentation expectations, future audit priorities, and enforcement exposure for government contractors.
