What are Product Price List Catalogs?
Product price list catalogs are electronic listings of your schedule products, prices, and photos in a data format suitable for display on GSA Advantage!. Your government buyers can "click purchase" on your products giving you direct sales 24/7 from around the world. By including any options and accessories, warranty statements, and shipping information, you can help your buyers make best value purchase decisions.
What are the types of Product Price List Catalogs?
Each type of catalog produces a different result on GSA Advantage!. A full or complete catalog is either your first catalog, or it completely replaces what you are currently displaying on GSA Advantage!. A change catalog enables you to provide line-by-line adds, changes, or deletes to your products. Administrative catalogs allow you to change names, addresses, and phone numbers, while sales catalogs offer you temporary selling opportunities. If you're a qualified BPA contractor, you can even produce BPA product catalogs.

What are Text Files?
Text Files are created from your contract Terms and Conditions. GSA recommends that all Contractors publish theri terms and conditions on the Advantage web site so that they will be readily available to buyers. There is a link in the listing for your Contract on E-Library to your document, if it has been uploaded. When your products and services don't lend themselves to being "click purchased" by government buyers who are on GSA Advantage!, you can describe them in the same document with your terms and conditions. Services which require a Statement Of Work (SOW) in order to complete the sale are also included in Text Files. Professional engineering, project management, and consulting are examples of services typically described with labor categories and hourly rates. Often products that are complex or difficult to configure can be found in Text Files.
When are Text Files mandatory?
GSA's Vendor Support Center website contains a lookup table, known as "Schedules SIN/MOL" which you may view or download. This lookup table displays your contracts' Special Item Numbers (SINs) and the SIN type codes which tell you whether you must submit your products and services only as a Text File, or whether you have the choice to describe your products and services in either a Text File or a Product Price List catalog. GSA's "Schedules SIN/MOL" table can be found at the GSA Vendor Support Center's Special Item Number and Maximum Order Limit Table. Even for the few cases where a SIN is 'Product Price List Catalog only', once you provide a product catalog, you can also submit your Text File to provide additional information.
