VSC is an electronic application by which eTS contractors report their quarterly report of sales and remit IFF. The Vendor Support Center Contractor Report of Sales (VSC) application is web based and is accessible via a secure URL.

The contractor must have Internet connectivity and access to a web browser to submit sales reports electronically. The first step is to register with the GSA E-Gov Travel Service at https://etsvendorsales.gsa.gov. This web site provides information and instructions, including an online demo, regarding registration and electronic sales reporting. You may also contact the VSC by telephone at (877)495-pill849 or (703)305-6235.

The Contractors Report of Sales is the document in which the Contractor reports the quarterly Dollar Value of Sales and Number of Units Sold. This report is structured for reporting based upon calendar quarters.

The IFF is a fee paid by customers to cover GSAs cost of operating the Federal Supply Schedules program. The IFF amount method by which the IFF is collected and charged has been determined by the Government.

Contractors must remit the IFF Quarterly. The IFF is remitted in dollars not later than the 30th calendar day following the completion of the previous reporting quarter. The reported Contract Sales Value must include the IFF as per Clause D-20 FBG-500 of the Master Contract.

The standard calendar quarters are: January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December.

No. The IFF is already included only in CLIN 0003AA, Local Vouchers and CLIN 0003AB TDY Vouchers.

The Contractor must remit the IFF amount due by check or electronic funds transfer through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or via check, to the GSA.

To calculate how much IFF to remit, multiply the Quantity of Sales with the current IFF rate.

No, the eTS contractors do not have to utilize VSC at this time. VSC is the preferred method for the eTS contractors to remit the IFF and report the Report of Sales.

Yes. The VSC application will link to a secure on-line payment system to remit the appropriate IFF to GSA.

The Contractor must annotate the check or electronic transmission with the following information: Industrial Funding Fee, Fund code, eTravel Program, vendor name, contract number; sub-Contract Line Item Numbers (sub-CLINs) for eTS Authorization and Voucher Services, units sold under eTS Authorization and Voucher Services (sub-CLINS), report amounts(s); and report period. If the Contractor makes remittance by check, provide this information on either the check, check stub, or other remittance material.

Yes. The master contract requires contractors to submit sales reports quarterly. If no sales occur, the contractor must indicate zero on the report for each CLIN and subCLIN.

No. The Contractor must maintain a consistent quarterly accounting method for Reporting Sales which must contain identical data as other periodic reports. For example, three monthly reports should contain equal data as the quarterly Contractor Report of Sales.

Yes. The VSC allows for modification to the Quarterly Report of Sales and IFF through the Modification module. Note: The IFF results from the previously reported entries as well as the difference between the original Quarterly IFF and the corrected Quarterly IFF will be displayed.

When your E-Gov Travel session has been idle (inactive) for more than 30 minutes, the session will automatically be timed-out and a "Session Terminated" message will be displayed. This security feature is common practice to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your information.
