4 BUSINESS FUNCTIONALITY CHANGES
SPR Number Description Item type
FPDSHD- FPDS-NG PIID prefix functionality currently will only use a start date Aged SPR
35811 of fiscal year 2004 (10/1/2003) when validating an agency PIID prefix.
This means that if an agency would like to start a PIID prefix later the
system is not allowing this change. The FPDS-NG PIID prefix
functionality will be modified to consider the start date and end date of
the agency PIID prefix. Therefore, when creating award and IDV
documents in FPDS-NG the PIID prefix for an agency will be required
only between the beginning and ending dates assigned to the PIID
prefix.
