Program Activity Codes and Titles: Program Activity Codes and Titles change across, and throughout fiscal years. At the time of certification, a small number of soft warnings related to Program Activity Codes and Titles remain. The DoD’s progress in working across the components to review and clean up invalid Program Activity Codes and title misalignments, as well as DoD’s regular updates of valid Program Activity Codes in the OMB MAX Collect Tool, continues to minimize these warnings. Object Class Codes: At the time of certification, a small number of soft warnings related to Object Class Code remain. DoD continues to work with system owner(s) to ensure they report valid object class code data, including those systems that are reporting ‘999’ object class code, to minimize these warnings in the future.'

Timing Variances: Agency submissions for the DATA Act pull data from multiple sources. Each of these sources has a different frequency for updating the relevant data to USAspending.gov. These timing differences can result in data being displayed at different intervals throughout the quarter, at times resulting in potential delays in awards matching appropriations account-level data. These timing variances result in numerous Broker warnings between File C and Files D1 and D2. Award ID Linkage. As required in Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-15-12 on DATA Act reporting to USAspending.gov, agencies must link their financial account data to award data using a Federal award ID as of January 1, 2017. For data submitted prior to that date, award data may not be linked to financial account data. Financing Accounts & Program Accounts for Credit: Credit program financing account activity is not required to be reported under the DATA Act, and as a result, award information for certain contract costs paid out of those accounts will not appear to be directly linked to account data. Funding for these costs is reflected in the program account.'

Awards Not Reported: Agencies are not required by statute or policy to report awards below the micro-purchase threshold (as defined by FAR 2.101) or any classified, sensitive, or personally identifiable information. Timing Variances: Agency submissions for the DATA Act pull data from multiple sources. Timing differences of data entered in multiple systems can result in data being displayed at different intervals throughout the quarter, at times resulting in potential delays in awards matching appropriations account-level data. A notable difference for the DoD, due to the nature of our mission, is its 90-day delay in reporting contract actions in FPDS-NG. These timing variances result in numerous Broker warnings between File C and D1. Completeness, Quality and Accuracy: The DoD continues to improve the completeness, quality and accuracy of DoD contract award reporting. This includes continuing discussions with OMB and Treasury to clarify data definitions and allowable source documentation.'

These timing variances result in numerous Broker warnings between File C and D2. Completeness, Quality and Accuracy: Due to system and reporting process challenges, DoD’s grant data may include duplicate, missing, or inaccurate grant award data. The DoD continues to improve its independent verification & validation process to improve the completeness, quality and accuracy of DoD Grant award reporting.'
