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.

1. FPDS-NG shall introduce a validation rule to state that when “Place of Manufacture” is ‘Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Only)’, then the value for “Country of Product or Service Origin” must be one of the following qualifying countries: • Australia • Belgium • Canada • Denmark • Egypt • Federal Republic of Germany • France • Greece • Israel • Italy • Luxembourg • Netherlands • Norway • Portugal • Spain • Sweden • Switzerland • Turkey • United Kingdom of Great Britain • Northern Ireland

2. FPDS-NG shall introduce a validation rule to state that only DoD can choose “Place of Manufacture” as ‘Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Only)’.

The above requirements shall apply to ‘correct’ of V 1.2, V 1.3 and V 1.4 documents and for ‘isComplete’/’Validate’ on V 1.4 documents.

4. 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.) shall continue to display as is.

For the data fix by the agencies:

5. Agencies shall correct their documents that have any of the following values of “Place of Manufacture”, but have PSC Codes that start with an alpha or one of the values - 5510, 87**, 88**, 9410, 9430, 9440, 9610, 9620 or 9630: • ‘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)'

For the report fix:

6. Since it is not viable to make the civilian agencies pick another “Place of Manufacture” value on their contracts that currently have ‘Mfg Outside the U.S. - Qualifying Country (DoD Only)’, data fix is not being proposed. However, “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 • Country of Product or Service Origin is one of the following qualifying countries: o Australia o Belgium o Canada o Denmark o Egypt o Federal Republic of Germany 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 o Northern Ireland

OR

If agencies did not opt to fix the incorrect data, then 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 Belgium o Canada o Denmark o Egypt o Federal Republic of Germany 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 o Northern Ireland

A) The following validation rules are displayed on the Referencing Awards: 1. DOD2B01A - Version 1.3 and lower: o ““Effective Date” on the Delivery/Task Order, BPA Call or BPA cannot be earlier than the “Date Signed” on the Referenced IDV.” DOD2B01A - On Version 1.4 and later: o "Effective Date" on the Delivery/Task Order, BPA Call or Part 8 BPA cannot be earlier than the "Date Signed" on the Referenced IDV. 2. DOD2C02A - Version 1.3 and lower: o ““Current Completion Date” on the Delivery/Task Order, BPA Call or BPA cannot be earlier than the “Date Signed” on the Referenced IDV.” DOD2C02A - On Version 1.4 and later: o "Current Completion Date" on the Delivery/Task Order, BPA Call or Part 8 BPA cannot be earlier than the "Date Signed" on the Referenced IDV.

B) The following validation rules are displayed on the Referenced Vendor Mod IDV on ‘Correct’: 1. DOD2A06: o “The “Date Signed” provided is later than the “Effective Date” of a final document referencing this IDV. Please provide a “Date Signed” earlier than the “Effective Date” of all referencing documents.” 2. DOD2A07: o “The “Date Signed” provided is later than the “Current Completion Date” of a final document referencing this IDV. Please provide a “Date Signed” earlier than the “Date Signed” of all referencing documents.”

Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures: As per the use case, V 1.0, V 1.1, V 1.2, Post CLOD V 1.3 and V 1.4 DOs and BPA Calls shall propagate the value of “Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures” from the referenced IDV. While V 1.0, V 1.1, V 1.2 and V 1.3 DOs and BPA Calls can no longer be created, any correction to the referenced IDV for the “Commercial Item Acquisition Procedures” has not been propagated to such DOs and BPA Calls.

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.

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

i. Extent Competed = A ii. Solicitation Procedures = MAFO iii. Type of Set Aside = NONE iv. Evaluated Preference = NONE v. Number of Offers = 2

For Local Area Set Aside: 1. 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): 1. V 1.2 documents that have “Commercial Item Test Program”(CITP) = Yes (Y) when corrected using the V 1.4 service with the values of CIAP as A, B, C or D display the following error message:

<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>

2. V 1.4 ‘Create’ with CIAP as ‘N’ or any invalid value displays a System Error.
