Information on Federal Agency Contractors and Grantees Now Publicly Available Online

As of April 15, all information posted in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), excluding past performance reviews, became publicly available (insert attachment) on the FAPIIS website.  FAPIIS contains specific information on the integrity and performance of Federal agency contractors and grantees. FAPIIS provides users access to integrity and performance information from the FAPIIS reporting module in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), proceedings information from the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database, and suspension / disbarment information from the Excluded Parties List system (EPLS). Previously, FAPIIS could only be accessed by acquisition officials of Federal agencies and other authorized Government personnel, with the exception that a contractor could view its own information. Now, competing contractors, private owners, and the general public can access potentially sensitive contractor information.  AGC is pleased to provide a legal analysis detailing the implications of this latest development for contractors written by Kathryn T. Muldoon of the law firm of Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, in Tysons Corner, Virginia. To view the legal analysis, please click here.
