Effective July 27, 2026, Letter of Supply (LoS) flags in the Compliance & Pricing (C&P) Report are now generated only for SINs that actually require an LoS.
What’s Changed
Previously, FCP displayed a “Review LoS Requirement” flag whenever manufacturer authorization wasn’t available in the Verified Products Portal (VPP), even if the item’s SIN had no Letter of Supply requirement.
Now, the platform follows the solicitation requirements more closely:
- SINs with an LoS requirement will display “LoS Must Be on File” when the required authorization isn’t available.
- SINs without an LoS requirement will no longer generate an LoS compliance flag.
- BPA catalogs will not display the LoS flag because LoS compliance is evaluated at the MAS contract level.
Why Contractors Should Care
Every unnecessary compliance flag creates additional work.
Someone has to stop, review the finding, verify the solicitation requirements, and determine whether any action is actually needed.
By removing LoS flags from SINs where they don’t apply, GSA is helping contractors:
- Save time during catalog reviews.
- Reduce false-positive compliance findings.
- Focus on issues that can actually delay a modification.
- Make Compliance & Pricing Reports easier to interpret.
- For companies managing thousands of products, even a small reduction in unnecessary reviews can translate into meaningful time savings.
