Upcoming Transition of VA FSS Sales Reporting and Industrial Funding Fee Remittance Portal
VA FSS is working in collaboration with General Services Administration (GSA) to modernize systems, standardize processes, and streamline the user experience. As part of these ongoing efforts, VA FSS will be transitioning the sales reporting and Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) remittance process to GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Sales Reporting Portal (SRP) by the end of calendar year 2023.
No action is required now. This process will begin in the upcoming months and will occur throughout calendar year 2023, as you can see in our Project Timeline. VA FSS has a dedicated team supporting the transition of contracts and data, and this team will stay in contact with you throughout the process to ensure a smooth transition.
