# Small Businesses Explore Automating GSA Schedule Upkeep

A small-business discussion about managing General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts focuses on recurring administrative work, including contract modifications, Transactional Data Reporting (TDR), and Federal Catalog Platform (FCP) updates. The original poster is exploring a software product, AcqVerity for MAS, and asking which tasks firms manage internally or outsource; one commenter said much of the work can be automated and estimated one or two days of human effort per quarter. This is a practitioner discussion, not a GSA announcement or solicitation.

- MAS contractors can use the discussion to compare how they handle modifications, TDR, and FCP updates in-house versus through outside support.
- The reported quarterly labor estimate offers a point of comparison for firms assessing the potential value of automating recurring schedule administration; it is a commenter’s estimate, not a verified benchmark.
- AcqVerity is being explored as a possible software product for MAS upkeep. Small businesses evaluating such tools should map their own administrative tasks and workload before deciding whether to automate or outsource.
