FPDS-NG is a web-based Government central repository for collecting, developing, and disseminating procurement data to Congress, the Executive Branch, and private sector. 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 socio-economic categories, the impact of full and open competition on the acquisition process, and other procurement policy purposes. FPDS-NG contains data that the Federal Government uses to create recurring and special reports to the President, Congress, the Government Accountability Office, Federal executive agencies and the general public (FAR 4.606, Reporting Data). FPDS-NG access, training, and instruction manuals are available on FPDS.gov. Agencies are responsible for collecting and reporting Contract Action Report (CAR) procurement data to FPDS-NG as required by FAR 4.6. The requirements for reporting GPC actions to FPDS-NG are contained in DFARS PGI 204.6, DoD Charge Card Guidebook A.1.6, and DPAP memo dated 26 October 2010.
