Don’t Miss This Step: FCP Now Requires T&C File Updates for Onboarding
FCP Update: T&C File Now Required in First Steps
Starting April 6, 2026, you must update your Terms & Conditions (T&C) file as part of the FCP First Steps onboarding process. FCP now integrates this long-standing MAS requirement directly into onboarding. (buy.gsa.gov March 31,2026)
You must update your T&C file if you:
- Are a new contractor (awarded after August 28, 2025) and have not created an initial T&C file in FCP
- Are a new FCP user and need to establish or update your T&C file
- Are an existing FCP user adding a new catalog offering that requires a baseline action (e.g., adding services after offering only products) (ibid)
How to check:
Log in to catalog.gsa.gov and look for the “Update T&C” requirement in the First Steps banner on your Catalog Overview page.(ibid)
How to prepare your file:
- Existing contractors: Download your current file from GSA eLibrary and remove all pricing and catalog details included in your Product File or Services Plus File (ibid)
- New contractors: Follow I-FSS-600 requirements. Do not include pricing unless specifically required for certain SINs (ibid)
Who is not impacted:
- Contractors awarded after August 28, 2025 who have already uploaded a T&C file (ibid)
- Contractors who transitioned to FCP before this requirement (ibid)
