Stop! Don’t Upload Your MAS Catalog Until You Get FCP Access
Effective immediately, newly awarded contractors must not use SIP or EDI-832 to upload catalogs to GSA Advantage!.
What to Do
- Use the required templates.
Since MAS Refresh 29 (Aug 28, 2025), vendors must submit offers using:
- FCP Product File
- FCP Services Plus File
- SIN-Specific Price Proposal Templates (limited SINs) (buy.gsa.gov 9.29.25)
If you used Products PPT or Services & Training PPT, convert your data to the FCP template. Templates live on the MAS Required Templates page. (ibid)
- Wait for your “Welcome to FCP” email before uploading data.
- Awards Aug 28–Oct 7 → FCP access Oct 14, 2025
- Awards Oct 7–Nov 5 → FCP access Nov 11, 2025
- Awards after Nov 5 → Timeline coming soon
- Awards before Aug 28 → Continue SIP/EDI-832 until bulk onboarding moves you to FCP (28-day notice). (ibid)
- Register your contract with the Vendor Support Center (VSC).
Do this as soon as you win. Registration is required to use FCP and show your contract on eBuy. (ibid)
In the meantime, validate your Product and Services Plus Files. Clean data = fewer FCP errors later. (ibid)
If you’re a newly awarded MAS contractor and unsure how to handle catalog uploads or registration, give us a call.
