Reporting in the Federal Procurement Database System
Executive departments and agencies are responsible for collecting and reporting data on federal procurement to the Federal Procurement Data System–Next Generation (FPDS-NG) as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The federal government uses the reported data to measure and assess the impact of federal procurement on the nation’s economy, the extent to which awards are made to businesses in the various socioeconomic categories, the impact of full and open competition on the acquisition process, and to address changes to procurement policy.
In order to ensure that information is up-to-date and accurate, Contracting Officers (COs) must submit complete reports on all required contract actions in accordance with FAR 4.604. The data should be submitted within three (3) workdays after the contract is awarded or in accordance with guidance from the specific agency. It is incumbent on the COs to assure the accuracy of all information submitted.

COs must devote particular attention to the following blocks of information to ensure accuracy when reporting the Alliant GWAC orders:
