V1.4 SP12.0

1. Contracting Agency is DoD 2. Country of Product or Service Origin is one of the qualifying countries as mentioned above 3. PSC Codes allowed are 1000-9999, with an exception of 5510, 87**, 88**, 9410, 9430, 9440, 9610, 9620 or 9630

However, the following discrepancies have been noticed:

1. Currently, the “Buy American Act Place of Manufacture” report does not consider the following in the calculation of data for the column “Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Funds Only)”: a. the value of “Country of Product or Service Origin” b. DoD as the Contracting Agency

Hence, for this column, “Country of Product or Service Origin’ could be any country and the contract could be civilian, as long as the value for “Place of Manufacture” is ‘L’ (Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Only)).

2. Additionally, FPDS-NG does not have validation rules to restrict selection of only those qualifying countries as “Country of Product or Service Origin” when “Place of Manufacture” is ‘Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Only)’.

3. Also, al though the value reads as ‘Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Only), there is no validation rule in FPDS-NG to restrict civilian users from selecting this value.

4. Finally, the validation rule 9H04 (Place of Manufacture can not be 'Mfg in U.S.', 'Mfg outside U.S. - Use outside the U.S.', 'Mfg outside U.S. - Resale', 'Mfg outside U.S. - Trade Agreements', 'Mfg outside U.S. - Commercial information technology', 'Mfg outside U.S - Public interest Determination', 'Mfg outside U.S. - Domestic non-availability', 'Mfg outside U.S. - Unreasonable cost' or 'Mfg outside U.S. - Qualifying country (DOD only)' when the 'PSC Code' is not '1000-9999', with an exception of the values: 5510, 87**, 88**, 9410, 9430, 9440, 9610, 9620 or 9630.) that ensures selection of only certain values for the PSC Code was implemented in mid 2008. So there are documents that have one of these values for “Place of Manufacture” and with an invalid PSC Code, bases signed prior to this rule or modifications against the bases that did not have this rule applied.

The “Buy American Act Place of Manufacture” report shall be fixed such that the column, ‘Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Funds Only)’ shall consider only the following documents:

Contracting Agency ID belongs to DoD AND "Place of Manufacture" = ‘L’ AND "PSC Code" between 1000 and 9999 (both values inclusive, but excluding 5510, 87**, 88**, 9410, 9430, 9440, 9610, 9620 or 9630) AND "Country of Product or Service Origin" is one of the following qualifying countries: o Australia o Austria o Belgium o Canada o Denmark o Egypt o Federal Republic of Germany o Finland o France o Greece o Israel o Italy o Luxembourg o Netherlands o Norway o Portugal o Spain o Sweden o Switzerland o Turkey o United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

As per the subject Change Request (CR), any DoD document that is funded by civilian agencies could be accessed by any user just like a civilian document could be accessed.

Note: These documents will have a non-DoD Funding Agency and Funding Office.

2. Civilian agencies shall be able to award Orders (Delivery/Task Orders and BPA Calls) against the above documents that are IDVs.

3. The above documents shall be transferred to the civilian agencies, if need be.

4. Correction to the Funding Agency and the Funding Office as DoD values on the above documents shall qualify them to be categorized under the ‘Date Signed + 90 day’ condition.

5. “Reveal Date” condition shall continue to apply for the new DoD final documents that are funded by DoD. Such documents shall continue to be non-accessible by the civilian agencies and the public users, as soon as the documents are reported to FPDS-NG. Note: These documents will have a DoD Funding Agency and Funding Office.

6. New DoD draft documents, irrespective of who funded them, shall not be accessed by the civilian agencies and the public users.

7. Existing DoD final documents that are funded by civilian agencies shall be accessed by the civilian agencies and the public users. Note: These documents will have a non-DoD Funding Agency and Funding Office. Note: Existing Final Awards that currently have Reveal Date marked are 545. Existing Final IDVs that currently have Reveal Date marked are 14.

8. Civilian agencies shall be able to award Orders (Delivery/Task Orders and BPA Calls) against the above documents that are IDVs.

9. The above documents shall be transferred to the civilian agencies, if need be.

10. Correction to the Funding Agency and the Funding Office as DoD values on the above documents shall again qualify them to be categorized under the ‘Date Signed + 90 day’ condition.

11. “Reveal Date” condition shall continue to apply for the existing DoD final documents that are funded by DoD. Such documents shall continue to be non-accessible by the civilian agencies and the public users, as soon as the documents are reported to FPDS-NG. Note: These documents will have a DoD Funding Agency and Funding Office.

12. Existing DoD draft documents, irrespective of who funded them, shall not be accessed by the civilian agencies and the public users.

13. Standard Reports and Adhoc Reports, when executed by civilian agencies or the public users, shall retrieve the DoD (final) documents that are funded by civilian agencies.

14. BI Views, when executed by civilian agencies shall retrieve the DoD (final) documents that are funded by civilian agencies.

15. ezSearch, when searched by civilian agencies or the public users, shall retrieve the DoD (final) documents that are funded by civilian agencies.

16. ICD, when searched by civilian agencies or the public users shall retrieve the DoD (final) documents that are funded by civilian agencies.

17. Public Atom Feed shall retrieve the DoD (final) documents that are funded by civilian agencies.

18. Detail Atom Feed shall retrieve the DoD (final) documents that are funded by civilian agencies.

19. DoD Atom Feed shall continue to behave as is.

1. IDVs are not included in the report because the current logic of considering “Ultimate Completion Date” is filtering out all the IDVs. 2. The “Ultimate Completion Date” condition is not being applied on the latest modification in the Award family. It is currently applied on any modification that is eligible as per the 5 year period and is active. 3. Awards with a null “Ultimate Completion Date” are excluded from the report. 4. Award Detail includes both base and the modification documents in contradiction to the requirements to display only the base.

1. It shall consider “Contracting Office ID” that is selected as one of the search criteria filters.

2. It shall exclude NASA Specific Awards (Grant for Research, Training Grant, Cooperative Agreement, Intragovernmental and Funded Space Act Agreement).

Currently, “Performance Based Acquisition” report considers contracts only when the Action Obligation or Ultimate Contract Value on each of the contracts (in the family) is greater than $25,000. In other words, the contracts whose current Action Obligation or Ultimate Contract Value is greater than $25,000 are considered in the report.

Note: Current exclusions continue to apply.

8P01- If "Funding Agency" is not DoD, then "Consolidated Contract" must be "No".

Business Services: When an existing V 1.0/1.1 Delivery/Task Order against a Multiple Award IDV is corrected using the V 1.4 service by sending the following tags, the Error code 4004 (“The value "CDO" for Data Element "Extent Competed" is invalid.) is displayed: i. Extent Competed = A ii. Solicitation Procedures = MAFO iii. Type of Set Aside = NONE iv. Evaluated Preference = NONE v. Number of Offers = 2

This issue does not happen when “Competitive Procedures” tag is used with ‘CDO’ as the value. Additionally, V 1.0/1.1 requests do not display this error. V 1.2, V 1.3 and V 1.4 display this error when the “Competitive Procedures” tag is not used with ‘CDO’ as the value.

Web Portal: When “Competitive Procedures/Reason Not Competed” is null/empty: Correct the DO/TO with a value of CDO to get the error 10B02 (Either a Competitive Procedure or a Other than Full and Open Competition must be selected) and when “Competitive Procedures/Reason Not Competed” is CDO: Correct the DO/TO with a value of NDO or any other value to get the error 10B14 (Either Other than Full and Open Competition or Competitive Procedures can be entered).

For Local Area Set Aside:

When an existing V 1.2 document (signed on 07/30/2008) is corrected using the V 1.4 service, the validation rule, 10C20 (If "Other than Full and Open Competition" is 'Authorized by Statute' or 'SAP Non-Competition', then "Local Area Set Aside" must be 'No'.) displayed correctly. However when LASA is set to ‘No’ or ‘N’, the value is not saved.

For Commercial Item Procedures (CIAP):

The validation rule 10J01 does not consider the value 'Services pursuant to FAR 12.102(g)' and V 1.4 IDV ‘Create’ with CIAP as ‘N’ or any invalid value displays a System Error.

- Business Services: FPDS-NG shall not display the Error Code 4004 (“The value "CDO" for Data Element "Extent Competed" is invalid”) when a V 1.0/1.1 DO/TO is being corrected using a V 1.4 Service.

- Web Portal: FPDS-NG shall not display 10B02 (Either a Competitive Procedure or a Other than Full and Open Competition must be selected) when a V 1.0/1.1 DO/TO that has “Competitive Procedures/Reason Not Competed” as null is being corrected to a value of CDO.

- Web Portal: FPDS-NG shall not display 10B14 (Either Other than Full and Open Competition or Competitive Procedures can be entered) when a V 1.0/1.1 DO/TO that has “Competitive Procedures/Reason Not Competed” as CDO is being corrected to any other value.

- Web Portal: FPDS-NG shall continue to not display any error message and shall continue to save the value when a V 1.0/1.1 DO/TO that has “Competitive Procedures/Reason Not Competed” as null is being corrected to a value other than a CDO.

2. For Local Area Set Aside:

- Business Services: FPDS-NG shall save the value of “Local Area Set Aside” on the V 1.2 documents that are signed on or later than 08/04/2006 when they are corrected using a V 1.4 Service.

- Business Services: FPDS-NG shall continue to display the Validation Rule, 10C20 (If "Other than Full and Open Competition" is 'Authorized by Statute' or 'SAP Non-Competition', then "Local Area Set Aside" must be 'No'.) when the V 1.2 documents that are signed on or later than 08/04/2006 are corrected.

- Business Services: FPDS-NG shall display the mandatory rule 10U01 (The Local Area Set Aside must be selected if the Date Signed is later than "08/03/2006".) when the V 1.2 documents are signed on or later than 08/04/2006 and are corrected.

- Business Services: FPDS-NG shall display the Validation Rule 10U02 (The Local Area Set Aside must not be selected if the Date Signed is prior to "08/04/2006".) when the V 1.2 documents are signed prior to 08/04/2006 are corrected with a value for ‘Local Area Set Aside”.

- Business Services: V 1.2 ‘get’ shall continue to not return “Local Area Set Aside”.

- Business Services: V 1.3 and V 1.4 ‘get’ shall continue to return “Local Area Set Aside”.

3. For Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures:

- V 1.4 Business Services (create and correct) for versions under V 1.3: FPDS-NG shall accept ONLY the following values for “Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures”: A – Commercial Item B – Supplies or services pursuant to FAR 12.102(f) C – Services pursuant to FAR 12.102(g) D – Commercial Item Procedures not Used Y – mapped to A N – mapped to D

Note: For V 1.4 ‘Create’ and ‘Correct’ (on V 1.3 and V 1.4), the valid values continue to be A, B, C and D.

- V 1.4 Business Services (correct) for versions under V 1.3: FPDS-NG shall continue to display the following Validation Rule when “Commercial Item Test Program” is ‘Yes’ and when the value for “Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures” is not sent or the value ‘Commercial Item Procedures not used’ is sent. <ns1:errorCode>10J01V12</ns1:errorCode> <ns1:errorMessage>If the "Commercial Item Test Program" is "Yes" then "Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures must be "Yes".</ns1:errorMessage> Note: Although the Service is V 1.4., the corresponding error messages for the document version will fire.

- V 1.4 Business Services (correct) for versions under V 1.3: FPDS-NG shall continue to accept any invalid value (other than the valid values) and save it as ‘D’ (N, No, false, Commercial Item Procedures Not Used).

- Business Services (correct) for versions V 1.3 and later: FPDS-NG shall not display the System Error when an invalid value is provided for “Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures”. FPDS-NG shall display that the value provided is invalid.

- For V 1.3 and V 1.4, the Validation Rule 10J01 shall be modified to include ‘Services pursuant to FAR 12.102(g)’). Modified 10J01: If the Commercial Item Test Program is Yes, then Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures must be Commercial Item, Supplies or Services pursuant to FAR 12.102(f) or Services pursuant to FAR 12.102(g).

2. BSDF is returned for the data element “Commercial Item Test Program” through Version 1.4 ‘get’ Service. 3. BSDF is returned for the data element “Local Area Set Aside” through Atom Feeds.

2. Remove ‘BSDF’ value from FPDS-NG for all the data elements.

3. Re-configure the following Validation Rule to be displayed on Version 1.2 contracts even if they were never touched through GUI services.

2. During the creation of the Reporting Views, the Congressional District and States are derived based on the Zip Codes. In the above scenario, the contract has a foreign PoP Country Code but with valid US Zip Codes, States and Congressional Districts.

Thus the solutions for the above issues are:

1. FPDS-NG shall accept only 3-digit country ISO codes from GUI Services and Web Portal but continue to accept 2-digit FIPS Code from Business Services.

2. The Reporting View creation shall be fixed to derive US Specific information (Congressional District, State Code etc) from the Zip-Code only when the Country Code is US.

Acquisitions by agencies on behalf of foreign governments or entities or international organizations: Awards in which the contract for foreign entity is yes are excluded from the report.
