Prepare the contract-action report facts for FPDS
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the award the contracting officer identifies, list the fields the contracting officer says must be reported and the values the award document states. Do not confirm the report and do not state that it has been completed in FPDS.
- What the lawyer must review
- FAR 4.604(b) provides that the contracting officer who awarded the contract action is responsible for the completion and accuracy of the individual contract action report. Reports in draft or error status in FPDS are not complete. The report must be confirmed for accuracy by the contracting officer before release of the contract award, and must then be completed in FPDS within three business days after contract award. For an action awarded under FAR 6.302-2, or under an authority in subpart 18.2, the report must be completed in FPDS within 30 days after award. The contracting officer confirms accuracy and completes the report. The fact list is not that confirmation. The tool does not state the content of FAR 6.302-2 or subpart 18.2.
