Project Status

We’ve made the application operational in a live environment it is available for testing.


Completed modules

Data from the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) have been integrated. This represents core information for many responsibility determinations and for assessing compliance with registration requirements.

Work in progress

We are integrating historical information on suppliers, reflecting prior experience performing government contracts based on data from the Federal Procurement Data System. Additional, the U.S. Air Force has a partnership with Public Spend Forum, who has provided us with a mechanism to connect with supplier profiles on their GovShop platform.

Future Plans

We have numerous ideas for information and analysis that we believe might be useful to buyers, including supplier risk ratings, past performance information, public sentiment/news feed data, and automated analysis of financial statements for public firms (e.g., 10-Ks and other SEC filings). We are exploring opportunities and appreciate feedback and ideas.

Limitations

While in development, we’ve made the service publicly accessible (the information that is being presented is compiled entirely from public sources). The application is subject to potential rate-limiting by upstream servers; if the prototype sees very heavy usage in a short period then it will, temporarily, be unable to respond. There are several potential approaches to address this, however our current focus is on the design and integration of information.
