The following items shall be deployed to production FPDS on Saturday, March 6, 2021:

No

Government User IDs incorrectly created without an assigned Agency ID, Unable to be corrected by user This item will resolve a defect in the Government User ID creation where the ‘Agency ID’ is incorrectly allowed to be left blank upon creation.

No

RTC-58119

Suppress ‘Date Signed’ validation rule firing incorrectly on Other Transaction (OT) contracts as compared to Awards/IDV's This item will suppress Other Transactions (OT) validation rule ‘OT2B02’ to align the validation rule behavior with the FPDS Awards/IDV’s:

Validation Rule Code: OT2B02 Validation Rule Message: ‘Period of Performance Start Date cannot be earlier than the Date Signed on the base document.’

This validation rule does not trigger for FPDS Awards and IDV’s, and for consistency the validation rule will be suppressed for Other Transactions contract actions. Currently, in situations where this is a valid scenario, OT users are unable to validate and finalize the OT contract action report.

No
