OMB Watch Submits Comments on Contractor Database

Yesterday, OMB Watch submitted comments [2] on the proposed [3] Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the new contractor performance database called for under last year's National Defense Authorization Act. Our comments focused on three areas: data quality and display; database training for contracting officials; and public access to the database. Look for a more in-depth treatment of the proposed database and the comments we supplied in next week's Watcher [4].
