Attention: The FPDS XML Archives have been Decommissioned

On June 12th, 2021, as part of FPDS V1.5 Service Pack 9 production implementation, the FPDS XML Archives has been decommissioned. Any past XML Archive data will not be available to the user community.

Specific guidance from the FPDS tier 2 help desk will be provided to users who are transitioning from the XML archives to the FPDS Atom feeds. For any assistance in the transition to Atom feeds, please create a ticket with the Federal Service Desk (FSD), and request that it be escalated to the FPDS tier 2 help desk.
