Authoritative Catalog Repository (ACR)

The Authoritative Catalog Repository (ACR) is a modernization of core legacy catalog processing functions; such as catalog ingestion, parsing, validation, and storage. ACR serves as the authoritative source for approved product and services catalog offerings for GSA Contracts. ACR operates in the GSA FCS MCaaS environment. GSA maintains security standards primarily through being inaccessible to end-users; and only providing access to partner or internal applications (such as GSA On-Prem) through secret keys and TLS secured endpoints.
