SIP AND FCP CATALOG SUPPORT
GSA Advantage Upload Services
A clear, accurate GSA Advantage presence helps buyers find you and helps your contract stay aligned with your approved offerings. We upload, troubleshoot, optimize, and keep your listing current.

Support for your catalog platform
Whether your contract uses SIP or FCP, the goal is the same: clean, buyer-friendly listings that match your awarded contract. We help prepare your catalog data, work through upload issues, and keep your listing aligned after approved changes.
We start by confirming the platform and catalog requirements that apply to your contract.

1. Consistent titles
Use clear names that reflect how agency buyers search.
2. Useful descriptions
Translate features into procurement-friendly benefits.
3. Complete, accurate data
Reduce mismatches and unanswered buyer questions.
4. Alignment after modifications
Keep Advantage listings consistent with what GSA approved.

FAQs about SIP and FCP
-
Is an Advantage upload required after award?
Contractors typically need to publish their approved catalog so agencies can see and buy.
-
Do I need to update Advantage after a modification?
Yes. After contract changes, your catalog must reflect the approved update so the marketplace matches the contract.
-
Can you help optimize listings for buyers?
Yes. We help make titles and descriptions clearer for how agencies search and compare options.
-
Is SIP going away?
GSA is moving catalog management to FCP, and SIP guidance is now largely for existing SIP users (and certain VA situations). New GSA contractors are directed to use FCP.
-
What is FCP?
FCP is GSA’s web-based catalog platform that replaces SIP and supports modern catalog management workflows.
-
If my catalog is uploaded, why do I need optimization?
Because “published” does not automatically mean “findable” or “compelling.” Catalog data quality affects how buyers discover you, compare you, and feel confident placing an order.
