Introducing the IDR Gateway
In the latter half of 2026, the Federal Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process will transition from single-use web forms to the new IDR Gateway, which will provide a secure, centralized platform that parties can use to manage disputes. IDR Gateway users will be able to:
- Start and respond to disputes.
- Access dispute dashboards and reports associated with their organization.
- Track dispute information, including disputes assigned to a certified IDR entity.
- Monitor assigned disputes by process phase.
- Review notifications regarding dispute activity.
The IDR Gateway will also bring important new security features, including identity verification processes and protocols that permit only US-based users to access the Federal IDR process.
More information about the IDR Gateway will be coming soon.
