(1) The OSD Procurement Data Improvement Plan, posted at https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/cap/data-improvement.html , applies to each of the military services and agencies with procurement authority, and identifies the data validation requirements and responsibilities that support the annual Department of Defense certification identified at FAR 4.604(c). These review requirements encompass contract action reports submitted to FPDS, terminations for default and other documents submitted to the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and other reporting and posting requirements.

(2) Contract action reports (CARs) must be completed in compliance with the timelines established in FAR 4.604(b)(2) and (3). CARs or their data are not available for public view or for non-DoD use until 90 days after the “Date Signed” data element in order to minimize risk to military operations.
