V1.4 SP7.0

Currently the Informatica Standard reports do not consider the CCR flags, ‘Self Certified Small Disadvantaged Business’ in the calculation of “Small Disadvantaged Business” and ‘8(a) Joint Venture’ in the calculation of “8(a)”.

There has been a requirement from GSA that SDB should consider the contractual actions with either ‘SBA Certified Small Disadvantaged Business’ checked or ‘Self Certified Small Disadvantaged Business’ checked and that 8(a) should consider the contractual actions with either ‘8(a)’ checked or ‘8(a) Joint Venture’.

The calculation of SDB, 8(a) or both will be modified in the following reports as per the calculation shown below:

Modified SDB calculation: For all the agencies, except DoD, NASA and United States Coast Guard, contractual actions with the vendor flag as either (‘SBA Certified Small Disadvantaged Business’ or ‘Self Certified Small Disadvantaged Business’) or (‘8(a) Program Participant’) and with ‘Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size’ is “Small Business”.

For DoD (department ID: 9700), NASA (department ID: 8000) and United States Coast Guard (contracting agency: 6950 or 7008), the following existing additional logic shall continue to apply: Vendor flag is either ‘Historically Black Colleges or Universities’ or ‘Minority Institution’.

Modified 8(a) Firm calculation: Contractual actions with the vendor flag as either ‘8(a) Program Participant’ or ‘8(a) Joint Venture’ and with ‘Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size’ is “Small Business”.

• Appendices for all the reports cited above shall be changed to reflect the new calculation logic reflected under the column headers of SDB and 8 (a). This will be done in both in the Preview and when the report when it is executed

• When Reason for Modification” is updated to ‘Transfer Action’ , FPDS-NG will propagate the values from the base for the data elements whose requirement state is ‘Propagates’/’Not Required’
• The above changes will apply to Web Portal, Business Services and GUI Services for Version 1.3 and 1.4.
• The above changes will apply for both Civilian and DoD agencies.

• Alaskan Native Servicing Institution (ANSI)
• Native Hawaiian Servicing Institution (NHSI)

• FPDS-NG will update the CCR processing process to read the flags “Alaskan Native Servicing Institution (ANSI)”, “Native Hawaiian Servicing Institution (NHSI)”. FPDS-NG will also update the process to properly read “Veterinary Hospital”, ‘Community Developed Corporation Owned Firm’, “Other than one of the preceding” and “U.S. Government Entity” from the load received from CCR
• The existing CCR Loading process shall remain unchanged
• FPDS-NG will update all the vendors listed by CCR with the ‘Alaskan Native Servicing Institution (ANSI)’ and ‘Native Hawaiian Servicing Institution (NHSI)’ depending on the date of the FPDS-NG CCR Loads
• FPDS-NG will update all the Awards and IDVs which have vendors marked with the two flags ANSI or NHSI depending on the “Date Signed” of the contracts and the date of the FPDS-NG CCR Loads
• FPDS-NG will mark the contract (Award or IDV) with ‘Alaskan Native Servicing Institution (ANSI)’ or ‘Native Hawaiian Servicing Institution (NHSI)’ flags when a vendor which has either of the flags is selected while creating/updating/approving or correcting of the contract
• All above changes will apply on ‘Save Draft’, ‘Approve’ and ‘Correct’ through GUI Services and Web Portal and on ‘create’, ‘approve’ and ‘correct’ operations through Business Services
• FPDS-NG will update all the vendors in which are marked as ‘Veterinary Hospital’, ‘Community Developed Corporation Owned Firm’, “Other than one of the preceding” and ‘U.S. Government Entity’ in CCR
• FPDS-NG will update all the awards which have the vendors mentioned above with the flags ‘Veterinary Hospital’, ‘Community Developed Corporation Owned Firm’, “Other than one of the preceding” and ‘U.S. Government Entity’ depending on the “Date Signed” of the contract and the listing of the flags in FPDS-NG CCR Loads.

GSA provided 4 new Validation Rules related to vendor and “Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” to be added to FPDS-NG.

FPDS-NG will display the following Validation Rule if “Contracting Officer’s Business Size Selection” is not ‘Other than Small Business’ and the Vendor is considered a ‘Government Entity’:

“If the vendor has identified themselves as a Government Entity (Federal, State, Local, Tribal or Foreign) or International Organization, then the “Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” must be ‘Other than Small Business’.”

• FPDS-NG will display the following Validation Rule if the “Contracting Officer’s Business Size Selection” is not ‘Other than Small Business’ and the Vendor is considered as a Non-Profit Organization:

“If the vendor has identified themselves as ‘Non Profit Organization’ or ‘Other Not For Profit Organization’, then the “Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” must be ‘Other than Small Business’.”

• FPDS-NG will display the following Validation Rule if the “Contracting Officer’s Business Size Selection” is not ‘Other than Small Business’ and is any of the vendors listed in the rule or a UNICOR DUNS:

“If the “DUNS Number” is ‘167445928’, ‘123456787’, ‘136666505’, ‘167446249’, ‘153906193’, ‘790238638’, ‘790238851’, ‘136721250’, ‘136721292’, ‘167445977, ‘167445993’, ‘167446025’, ‘167446058’, ‘167446116’, ‘167446173’, ‘167446223’, ‘136721201’ or a UNICOR DUNS then the ““Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size”” has to be 'Other than Small Business’.”

• All above changes will apply on all base contracts and Vendor Modifications
• All above changes will apply on all Stand-Alone Awards and IDVs except NASA specific documents and on all versions
• All above changes will apply on ‘Validate’, ‘Approve’ and ‘Correct’ through GUI Services and Web Portal and on ‘isComplete’, ‘isExistingAwardComplete’/‘isExistingIDVComplete’, ‘approve’ and ‘correct’ operations through Business Services
