Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS)

From Knowledge base

Federal Procurement Data System – Next Generation

FPDS-NG offers public users unprecedented access to the spending patterns of the Federal government – at no cost. Once you have registered at www.fpds.gov, you will have access to all actions in that have been submitted to FPDSNG from across the Federal government.

FPDS-NG is designed as a self-service tool for the public. You will find details on what information is in FPDS-NG and the many ways to access it. Additionally, detailed Help files are available that describe how to get reports and generate your own.

What’s in FPDS-NG?

Contract Actions:


  • Fiscal Year 04 Data: Agencies report contract actions, including base actions and modifications, to FPDS-NG. FPDS-NG has been expanded to include new fields for Fiscal Year (FY) 04 and forward. The data dictionary contains a description of the data for FY 04 and forward.


  • Real-time Availability: In many cases, contract data is available to the public when the contract is awarded to the vendor. With FPDS-NG, the information is now available in near real-time.


  • Legacy Data: Over 12 million legacy contract actions were migrated from the FPDC system and are now available in FPDS-NG. This includes FPDC transactions back to 1979.

Release of Data: For security reasons, the Department of Defense (DoD) only releases contract data after a 90-day waiting period. However, the contract information is included immediately in the aggregate spending totals found in Standard Reports.


How do I access the detailed contract actions?


Advanced Search Capability:

  • Advanced Search provides a quick and easy shortcut to search through all contract actions. The search criteria include vendor name, contract number, Procurement Instrument Identifier (PIID), North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), funding agency/contracting office or contracting agency/office, dollars obligated and date ranges.


  • Advanced Search returns a summary for each contract that meets the criteria with a link to the detailed contract action.


  • With the vast number of records available for search, we recommend that you maximize your search by narrowing the criteria. To ensure that the system is available for the entire user population, large queries may be limited.

Advanced Search is available by clicking on the Advanced Search button at the top of the FPDS-NG Reports Suite main menu screen.
