What is the Trade Agreements Act (TAA)?
The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) of 1979 was enacted to foster fair and open international trade.
Under TAA, the products and/or services offered on a GSA Schedule contract are required to be only U.S. made or TAA designated country end products. Government buyers are assured of making good decisions with their equipment purchases to avoid implementation of equipment that are of grave risk to national security from foreign players.
GSA contract holders demonstrate good ethical business practices and a commitment to their government customers by selling TAA compliant items. Plus, it keeps you out of jail.

Are you feeling the pain of increased costs to your business? If you are like most of our government customers, your business is feeling the brunt of the rising costs of goods and services.
The good news is that General Services Administration (GSA) has recognized the inflation challenge and is trying to do something about it to keep contractors from leaving the government market altogether, in part, because they are losing money.
What does this mean for you as a GSA Contract holder? If your costs have increased as a channel partner in which the manufacturer has increased your pricing or you are a business reliant on maintaining a highly qualified labor market and your costs have skyrocketed, you can seek to increase your pricing.
Let us know in the comments if you have felt the pain of increased costs in your business.
