FPDSPMOS-133 FPDS-NG updates to support Executive Compensation changes in USA Spending. This offers two resolutions, one for FPDS-NG and another for USA Spending.

FPDS-NG

Software Change:

1.For vendors whose EC data is provided by SAM, FPDS-NG contracts will reflect vendor specific EC information with ‘base and all options’ value greater than or equal to $25,000 and date signed on or after July 8th, 2010.

2.For vendors whose EC data is provided by SAM, FPDS-NG shall update all existing contracts with ‘base and all options’ value greater than or equal to $25,000 and date signed (base contract) on or after July 8th, 2010 with EC information. Note: This is a one-time process to update the existing contracts in FPDS-NG.

3.When the contract is tagged with EC data, all subsequent modifications will inherit the EC data from the base contract with some exceptions listed under modifications.

4. Modifications:

a. Novation modification: if tagged with EC, EC data of the new vendor shall be reflected. Subsequent modifications shall reflect the new vendor EC data. The original base document will continue to reflect original vendor information.

b. Re-representation modification: EC data will continue to be inherited from the base on the modification.

c. Vendor DUNS change modification: EC data will continue to be inherited from the base on the modification.

d. Vendor address change modification: EC data will continue to be inherited from the base on the modification.
