The General Services Administration (GSA) expects to complete the transfer of the Federal Procurement Data System’s reports functions – administrative, standard, ad hoc and static – to the System for Award Management’s beta website by Oct. 17.
An Aug. 3 update says users will no longer run and create contract data reports and reports module on the FPDS website on that date. FPDS will retain other functions.
GSA wants users to provide feedback and review reference guides and frequently asked questions and watch training videos as they access reports on the beta SAM website.
The FPDS reports migration concludes an agile iterative improvement and soft launch process that started in March.
