23 years of FPDC/FPDS-NG electronic data processing
10 years of CFDA Data Processing
Created first comprehensive FPDC database for desktop computers in 1988
Created commercial online contract and grant transaction reporting system in 1997
Created contract and grant reporting system for the US House of Representatives in 1998

How Far We’ve Come: FPDC (FY02) vs. FFATA Contracts (FY07)
Number of transaction records up from 500,000 in FY 2002 to 3.9 million in FY 2007. Last update contained 18 million contract records FY00 - FY08.
Total number of contracts up from 229,298 in FY 2002 to 1.5 million in FY 2007
Rapid transaction count growth primarily a result of large increases in reported small purchases
Total dollar value of contracts up from $262 billion in FY 2002 to $436 billion in FY 2007
Total number of active vendors up from 86,038 in FY 2002 to 201,642 in FY 2007
Improved currency: quarterly updates then, now monthly updates

Ongoing Contract Data issues Obligation records only, no expenditure data
Prime contracts only, no sub-contracts
Data consistency (obligations vs. expenditures . . . vs. budget?). Leads to discussion of data collection process, managing multiple, large data streams.
Certain key fields called for explicitly in FFATA not yet widely available (program source – 250K so far)
Unique parent company identification, “roll-ups”
Overall data cleanliness much better, but certain data fields still problematic (Place of Performance geographic fields, Agency/Purchase Office Codes with no references, inconsistently formatted Funding Agency codes)
Many fields incompletely or inconsistently reported (NAICS)

Ongoing Grant Data issues
Switch to FAADS+ improving grant data quality
Obligations only, no sub- and sub-sub-grant expenditure data
Need to work with agencies to generate more FAADS+ data
Need standard market descriptors
Need parent organization references like in contracts

Priorities for Transitioning To FFATA 2.0
What is the meaning of “Transparency?” What do we mean by “accountability?” Whom do we want to enable with our information and what do we want to enable them to do?
Need to define data collection access procedures and processes that fulfill requirements of FFATA (expenditures, sub-awards)
Need to access, integrate multiple data streams that are fundamentally different in nature (Obligation, expenditure, appropriations, commitments, etc.)
Robust, expandable data platform that fulfills all search and analytical requirements (dynamic rankings based on result sets, searching across dimensions)
Fulfill initial promise of program source code, make FFATA a true management tool as well as a full-featured taxpayer resource
Required fields need greater accuracy, fuller reporting
Redacted contracts???
