Introduction to the FPDS-NG initiative

• In 1978, the Federal Procurement Data Center
  (FPDC) was established. FPDC was tasked with
  development of an automated system for
  collecting, evaluating, and making available
  information about federal procurement contracts.
  As a result, the Federal Procurement Data System
  (FPDS), managed by the General Services
  Administration (GSA), went online in 1979.
• On December 17, 2002, the E-Government Act of
  2002 (2002 Act) was signed by President Bush.
  Part of the 2002 Act calls for the development of
  an Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE).
  Improvement in the FPDS infrastructure was
  identified as an important part of the IAE
  initiative.
• On April 23, 2003, General Services
  Administration (GSA) awarded a contract to Global
  Computer Enterprises, Inc. (GCE), a small
  business from Reston, VA, to develop and
  implement the Federal Procurement Data System
  Next Generation (FPDS-NG).
• The Old - legacy FPDC was looked to for basic,
  electronic collection of contract reporting data,
  while, at the same time, government agencies
  maintained their own databases for data analysis
  and responding to Congressional inquiries.
• The New - FPDS-NG model does away with individual
  agency-level contract reporting databases.
  Therefore, it will be relied upon for mission
  critical activities across the federal
  government.

What does this mean for you?
8
What else does this mean for you?

• Not only is more detailed procurement data being
  entered and compiled much faster, it is now
  available to virtually anyone with internet
  access
• This means even more scrutiny of DoD
  performance
• No more feeder systems no more multi-level data
  quality assurance
• You become DoDs first and last line of defense
  to ensure data accuracy
• Key thing to remember the data you enter is now
  being relied upon across DoD to help it support
  the warfighter in the 21st century environment

How significant an undertaking is this?

Scope of Deployment

• DoD deployment universe -
• 856 DoDAACs
• Almost 28,000 users
• 11 different contract writing systems

• 7 DoDAACs (SPS and NG direct entry users) have
  been working in FPDS-NG production for 1 year
  as part of ongoing Pilot Program
• No DD350s in FY07 (except for possibly closed
  network sites like NGA and DIA)

So, what does it all mean?

• IT IS.
• New
• Big
• A significant challenge / change
• Theres going to be some frustration

• BUT.
• It will enable us to fulfill our mission of
  supporting the warfighter
• More effectively
• More efficiently
• More flexibly

• AND.
• None of us is as smart as all of us
• It is going to take a true team effort, and
  thats why we are here today.

My Reports - Enhanced Access to Data/Information

• Standard reports
• Those reports that are commonly used by many
  users (e.g. Top 100 Federal Contractors)
• Available to public users without the need for a
  user id and password
• Ad Hoc reports
• Reports that join different tables to create a
  custom view of the data
• Some limits may be placed on the ability to
  create ad hoc reports
• Data availability
• Extracts and/or virtual access for use by DoD
  systems (e.g. business intelligence)
