Abstract: The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of 2009 (Public Law 110-417) was enacted on October 14, 2008. Section 872 of this Act required the development and maintenance of an information system that contains specific information on the integrity and performance of covered federal agency contractors and grantees. The Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) was developed to address these requirements and has been superseded by the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov. SAM provides users access to integrity information from the FAPIIS reporting module in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), proceedings information from the Entity Management section of the SAM database, and suspension/debarment information from the Exclusions section of SAM. As required by 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, effective January 1, 2016, Federal agencies are required to review and consider any information about the applicant that is in SAM before making any award in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold, defined in 41 U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance. Non-Federal entities (NFEs) are required to disclose any information about criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, and/or affirm that there is no new information to provide. This applies to NFEs that receive Federal awards (currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts), as required by 45 CFR Part 75, Appendix XII, of the Uniform Guidance, for any period of time during the period of performance of an award/project.
