Four independent control populations
FCP catalog, awarded contract/SIN terms, ERP product master and transaction prices are reconciled without treating any one system as authoritative.
Recurring FAS Catalog Platform control
Keep FCP, awarded terms, ERP prices and transactions continuously aligned
Saxum converts customer-controlled source data into a reviewed upload draft, exception register, reconciliation and signed control packet. The contractor’s authorized POC remains responsible for portal access and certification.
No portal credentials. No guaranteed external result. Scope confirmed before sensitive material is transferred.
Flagship product depth
Catalog-to-contract-to-ERP depth
Deeper deterministic controls reduce setup and recurring review work while preserving customer-controlled submission and qualification boundaries.
Price, status and effective-date control
Above-ceiling prices, deleted/active conflicts, missing SKUs and future-effective changes are blocked or routed for review.
Approval-bound catalog draft
Saxum emits only rows that clear the contract and ERP controls; the authorized negotiator retains FCP submission and contract responsibility.

Current requirement snapshot
FCP is GSA’s catalog-management system for MAS contracts. New awardees are placed on FCP, while existing contracts are transitioning in scheduled waves. Saxum independently reconciles catalog rows against awarded terms and internal systems; GSA and the contract remain authoritative.
The operational problem
Why the standard portal or checklist is not enough
FCP catalog control is a recurring cross-system process: compare catalog rows with awarded contract and SIN terms, ERP product state, effective dates and transaction prices; resolve exceptions; prepare an authorized review draft; and retain the provider receipt. The portal is only the final step—the operational risk sits upstream.
Truth boundary: Saxum controls preparation, evidence and technical review. It does not replace the customer’s legal, tax, accounting, scientific or regulatory professionals, and it does not control external acceptance.

Problems this product helps control
GSA FAS Catalog Platform records where awarded terms, Product or Services Plus files, ERP masters and transaction prices need recurring reconciliation.
What Saxum needs
A bounded intake, not an open-ended data dump
The case starts with enough context to reproduce the problem and define responsibility. Credentials, unrelated personal data and unsupported assumptions are excluded.
- Contract and SIN context
- Monthly transaction export
- Prior SRP result or accepted-file sample, when available
- Named authorized POC and reporting calendar
The deliverable
What arrives at the end of the engagement
The output is designed to be reviewed, handed off and defended—not merely marked “passed.”
- Field-mapped upload draft
- Blocking-error and warning register
- Monthly sales reconciliation
- Zero-sales or exception documentation
- Submission checklist for the authorized POC
- Signed control packet and evidence bundle
Controlled workflow
From messy source material to a reviewable release packet
Each stage has a clear stop condition. When evidence is insufficient, the case pauses rather than manufacturing certainty.
Map
Confirm contract scope and map the customer’s source columns to the reporting fields.
Validate
Run structural, type, date, amount and reconciliation controls.
Review
Resolve exceptions with the contractor or adviser without guessing.
Package
Deliver the upload draft and signed evidence packet for authorized submission.
Recurring control platform
A continuous catalog control—not another migration spreadsheet
The control room versions each source contract, detects schema drift, reconciles every catalog change against awarded terms and ERP state, and preserves the external FCP receipt.
Close and reconcile
Reconcile price ceilings, status, effective dates, ERP product state and transaction prices before an authorized catalog action is prepared.
Adviser portfolio mode
Manage segregated contractor accounts, contract portfolios, transition deadlines, source-contract versions and cross-client exception summaries.
Rule and value evidence
Watch GSA guidance, pause affected controls for review, and separate verified financial exposure from estimated time saved.
Adviser portfolio mode
Control FCP obligations across multiple MAS clients
Keep contractor catalogs segregated while reusing approved mapping, awarded-term controls and recurring review policy; bundle naturally with TDR where the same adviser manages both.
Segregated accounts
Each customer, entity or operating unit keeps separate source evidence, mappings, exceptions and outputs.
Reusable controls
Approved mappings and review policy reduce repeat setup without allowing one client's assumptions to leak into another.
Portfolio oversight
Firm teams can see recurring due work, unresolved exceptions and evidence-backed outcomes without flattening client boundaries.
First-cycle outcome proof
Show the buyer exactly what Saxum proved
The first controlled cycle produces customer-visible proof before the workflow is expanded. Saxum keeps internal completion separate from external/provider acceptance and never turns estimates into verified outcomes.
Source coverage
See which files, mappings and authority sources were used, what was missing and which assumptions remained unresolved.
Exception register
Every blocker has a reason, owner and current state. Unsupported facts remain open instead of disappearing into a generic pass.
Evidence-graded scorecard
Separate Saxum-completed work from provider-final evidence, verified value, source-backed exposure, observed time savings and estimates.
Commercial fit
Use this when the cost of an unresolved exception exceeds the cost of review
Saxum is strongest when the workflow repeats, the evidence is fragmented and one preventable mistake can delay revenue, create rework or weaken the customer’s audit trail.

GSA FCP Catalog Control FAQ
Direct answers on access, responsibility, deliverables and limits.
No. Portal Relay can prepare and capture customer-confirmed evidence, but the contractor’s authorized user retains FCP access and submission authority.
No. Saxum independently reconciles source systems and preserves evidence around the native FCP validation and Compliance & Pricing Report.
No. GSA systems and contract facts remain authoritative. Saxum reduces preventable preparation errors and preserves evidence.
Yes. Each contractor and contract remains segregated while approved source contracts and portfolio reporting reduce repeated setup.
The approved source contract becomes a versioned baseline; later cycles focus on source drift, price/status changes and external acceptance.
