GCE Offers a New Feature 'Interagency
Contract Directory'!
GCE is offering a new feature, a searchable
database capability in FPDS-NG 'Interagency Contract Directory'(ICD).
This 'Google-like' search tool will provide users an easier way to
navigate the millions of Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDV) records
within FPDS-NG.
The objective of the Interagency Contract
Directory (ICD) capability is to create a central repository of
Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDV) awarded by the federal agencies where
the IDV is available to be used at both the intra agency and the inter
agency levels
The ICD capability will serve as a
marketing research and planning tool, enabling agencies to explore the
use of existing contracting vehicles to satisfy their requirements before
developing and negotiating new contracts.
ICD provides accessibility to interagency
contract information that would assist contracting officers in fulfilling
their contractual needs in the most expeditious manner. It will also help
in developing sound acquisition strategies.
ICD is a text based search that allows
users to enter any data element of a contract, such as; vendor name,
agency name, contracting agency name etc.
Search results can then be sorted several
different ways, or narrowed down further by using the Advanced Search.
Users are also able to drill down to the award detail for each data
element.
ICD is available both to government users
and public users. The public has free and full access to ICD at https://www.contractdirectory.gov/contractdirectory/
We encourage you to use the new ICD functionality
and your feedback will be appreciated.
